ngl I think that one of the most stressful things about having a tc is that you really have to be the one to show that you’re friendly and interested in getting to know them to make the relationship grow. like yeah they can initiate a conversation with you every now and again but it’s really up to you to show that you’re not just another student taking their class to pass it, and having to be the one to make that initial connection is so weirdly difficult sometimes.
How to get closer with your teacher crush
A lot of y’all asked me to make this post so here is it
Be interested and focused in their lesson
Have good grades in their class
Don’t be afraid to ask for help if it’s really not a subject you are good into
Be intelligent, don’t act dumb to get their attention, they will see as a bad student
Stay after class to talk with them about class or ask them about something concerning homework, eventually you could start talking about other topics not concerning school
Be yourself, don’t fake your personality, show them the real you
Be bold and confident, keep eye contact, talk to them in the hallways, start conversations…
Get how to contact them ( their email, number, social media), ask them if they can give it to you do you can send them a project or an additional work you would like to have their opinion on and boom now you have it
Find the place where they usually stay in the school and try to be there as much as you can, of course being there and not doing anything is unnecessary, so try to talk with them, if it’s the library you can start talking about books and a longer conversation will come
Join a club they lead, it’s a great new experience for you and a good way to be closer to them
Give them a gift and the end of the year, be original
Seek a friendship with them not a romantic relationship, by seeking a romantic relationship you will most likely end up being disappointed
Once you know them better, see if you share any similar interests, it’s a great conversation starter
Make inside jokes that no one around you understand, I swear it’s so funny
Make them think of you when they see something you like by talking about it a lot or posting about it if they have your socials, that way they will think of you every time they see it and even send you stuff related to it
Ask them for suggestions, it can be about books, movies, songs, places, games,etc
Be polite and respectful
Be interested in learning things about them
Good luck everyone! If you want more details you can ask me with the questions option or text me :)

the feminine urge to only study to make her proud

“does your crush go to this school?”
…..yeah. something like that.
make it happen !! i’m really shy and literally never spoke to her outside much of class until this year, then one day i asked her for help with my university application and sat with her over lunch one day . this turned into me seeing her far more often over lunch , but i definitely had to make all the effort in initiating it . now we talk when we (rarely) pass each other in the corridor and she asks me how i am in class and we have conversations . next step is getting her number lol
i spent lunch w j today and OHMYGOD
we were talking about keeping in touch after i leave and she said it’s fairly common for people here to come back on their university holidays and say hi to their teachers , and she even said she is going for coffee with a former student this weekend . so. we will be doing that
she also said she’s free same time tm so it’s a date lol - should i bake something or bring anything ? ADVICE PLS
WHAT DID SHE SAY??? GIVE US UPDATES
i’m so embarrassed 😭😭😭
i brought her cookies and didn’t plan to stay but i ended up staying the whole of lunch and we were just having our usual conversations. and somehow it came up in conversation that she had a student a few years ago who wrote her a love letter before he left ??? and she was like . that was kind of funny
and then i for some reason decided to come out with “i used to have such a crush on u in like first year “ ??? like ???? why would i do this ??? i made it clear to her that it was a “former “ crush tho
and she laughed and said she never noticed but she was flattered . and then just started talking about gillian anderson lol
and i was leaving i was like i’m so sorry for telling u that and she replied with its ok happens to all of us , see u next week ???
then got a uni acceptance so i sent her an email which she hasn’t replied to , but knowing her she’s probably sleeping and will reply on monday
not sure what to make of this tbh but not a bad thing ?? and she said the cookies were good so
