Falling in love with professor?

[IndiReloaded]

It's those that tell the mechanic to not bother pursuing the hot professor because she's out of his league (and they think she's "out of his league"

Wakeup, who is "those"? Please show the post where this was made. I don't think anyone in this entire thread said this except you.

Its 'exist' btw. Not 'exit' (sic).

Ladies, this is getting out of hand.

I could go through and point out all your spelling mistakes, too, but I'm that mean. :-) Let's all respect each other.

Please do. I don't find it mean in the slightest. I enjoy my spelling being corrected. :-)

The answer is no. ;-)

Yep our brains are remarkable things. But there's also good data that says that websites with spelling mistakes attract less business. Spelling ain't just for bees, it sends a message beyond the words themselves. Newspapers are increasingly full of errors also.

Interestingly, I ran your text through my spell check and it returned this:

Occurring to a rscheearch at Cambridge Uinervtisy, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only pigment thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it outhit problem. This is busier the human mind does not read every letter by istle, but the word as a whole.

I'll leave this to those smarter than I in things computer to explain what happened.

Our brains are lazy. The fact that we can recognize a word based off its initial and final letter (which doesn't work the same way in every language) is an evolutionary result of reading being a mentally taxing effort. I guess you could say our brains are green because they are "energy efficient", haha. Furthermore, I noticed on the website where I found that blurb, it is also given in foreign languages. I noticed that with some languages I'm not very familiar with, it's not as easy or natural for me to recognize the words. And small town newspapers are always full of good headlines. I collect them for fun! FWIW, you can look at old birth records as late as late 19th century CE and there are inconsistencies in spelling. When you say "full of errors" all you mean is that it doesn't conform to a standard that is prescribed to us by purists. And the funny thing is that everybody thinks they know their native tongue and that their spelling and mechanics are all right, but nobody knows what a direct object is or the difference between demonstrative and relative pronouns. I don't judge people by their misspellings or mistakes anymore - instead by the things they say. ;-)

I don't know much about spell check or translation algorithms, but I never tried testing that with spell check. I think here it's obvious that they do not parse language in the same way that humans do. Of course, anyone who speaks a foreign language can pop in some English on Google Translate or any other translation prog and watch how the colloquialisms and idiomatics are petrified as literal statements. And any incorrect grammar/misspellings are indecipherable to the program, and so forth.

For the OP...she's obviously bright, articulate and well accomplished. On top of that she's probably very engaging, interesting, makes class fun and has a great sense of humor...then the icing on the cake, she's super cute.

In the real world that's incredibly hard to find, in the world of academics I guess it'd be comparable to finding a dinosaur egg while you're out taking a walk on a nature trail. I'm sure every male, single or not, has noticed what an amazing woman she is. I'm betting that the single guys in class who have made eye contact with her or spoken with her after class is hoping or thinks that perhaps he made a connection with her.

I'm just more inclined to think it's something that you want to be there, not something that actually is.

Thanks for all replies to my question again.. Sometimes it occurs to me if my feelings caused by her teaching to me through that am I seeing her superior and I try to push my feelings back but I just when I see her face, smile I can't think of any of these problems at all.. Actually my other professors are mostly female too I mean only one male professor in our field. I don't know why I'm not attracted to other ones.. Can be psychological problem with my situation I'm aware of that.. I just want to name it so perhaps I can get rid of that feeling... I even try to hate her.. I mean I sat down in her class with a sour face. I try not to involved to class matters as I was used to be. Even she asked me what was wrong and am I alright. Of course I couldn't say I do that on purpose just to get rid of that feeling.. I know that doesn't make any sense. I just beg to god to have a crush on another person. I really do.

Are you friends with her as well as her student - do you hang out outside of school?

No, we are not hanging outside of university. I just see her on the stairs or when I need to see one of my profs to their room and if she's there.

If it is about restruction due to your country law ok but loving or not someone must and always be the result of what we human being feel for that one based surely on our expectation. What you must be clear on is whether or not you love her. If being confortable enough to answer this question by an "YES" any problem then to adventuring yourself with such person otherwise you would need to know why are you feeling like this. Let her know you are in love with whatever the sircumstances can be. I know you are intelligent to play that role without carrying your life to the heel.

[oneandonly]

.....What you must be clear on is whether or not you love her. ...

Well, he doesn't. It's a crush. I am not trying to belittle his feelings but it's a fact. He doesn't know her enough to know if he loves her or not. A superficial image of her, that's all there is to be right now.

Let her know you are in love with whatever the sircumstances can be...

What will this achieve other than creating a very awkward situation for himself and her?


OP - in your logical mind, you know this won't go anywhere. Forget her. Make a conscious effort, not in sulking in a class (that's just silly!) but distracting yourself from her or thoughts of her. I am sure there are many other girls who will find you attractive and enjoy your company.

Who knows? A couple of years from here on, you may find yourself still thinking of her as now and then give it a try but it's never a good idea while you are her student.

Hey Searock, I just pushed you to 2 bars. Congrats (or sorry, depending).
