i’ve been so inactive recently for literally no reason but things with j have been going well. we had a really good conversation a while back and it got very personal on her part and also she knows i like girls now lol. but on a sadder note - i always used to talk to her every monday, but now every other one there’s a class in her room and she’s in the office which i can’t really go into :( tomorrow is a good monday though i think
28/03
saw her for a chat today i think i disturbed her marking tho lol
my sister just agreed w me that j is hot idk how to feel
Have u ever looked at someone and hope they stay in your life forever
my friends and i went out the other night and i got drunk and emailed her 😭😭😭😭😭so embarrassed i just deleted the whole email app
it wasn’t even bad , but i have to go in and give books back now so going to be very awkward. also mildly afraid she’ll hate me ??
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 :)
i think our story just ended. made a reason to go into school today and she had left by the time i got there. tomorrow is the last day of term and there’s so little chance of seeing her and i have no reason to be there . but i wanted to apologise for the email and leave a way to get in touch but our last interaction is now just a normal conversation and that stupid email. i know it’s stupid to think that her leaving early today had anything to do with me but i can’t stop thinking that she wants to avoid me.
she’s not going to be here all summer as she’s going travelling so i can’t even dream about running into her some random day, and the next time i could see her is next year now if even .
i don’t want to email her again because i feel like she hates me but i feel so…. crushed
how does 7 years and all those chats and silly memories just end on a random week day and i didn’t even know it was the last one ?
last class w her , got photos including a few of just us two🥺
currently eating a philadelphia bagel every day because she said that’s her favourite breakfast
how do u guys deal with the guilt ? sometimes i feel like i make him so uncomfortable and that’s the last thing i ever wanna do.
As a seasoned tc’er and someone who has a lot of experience with telling my tc exactly how I feel I thought I would put together a list of things I did (or I think would work) to get closer with your tc.
It is important that you do not do these things under any expectation that they will reciprocate any feelings you have. Respect boundaries. Remember they are people and that being a friend/mentor will be more valuable to you than you realise. DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING ROMANTIC.
- be vocal and interactive in class, being engaged in a teachers lesson is not only flattering but shows you have interest
- try to find some common ground, for my tc it was vinyls and our love of movies
- don’t try to force something romantic. Aim to be friends because that is the only way they will open up and talk to you like anything more than a student
- if your school had any fun events or games, start a rivalry and tease them about you winning it. Challenge them.
- compliment them, everyone likes compliments and it doesn’t have to be super obvious. Some compliments I would recommed are; I love your tshirt, your hair looks good today, that lesson was really fun/interesting, you’re super funny or smart. Stuff like that.
- say thank you when you leave class, it’s the little things that make you seem polite and stick out from the crowd
- if you’re looking to go into the subject they teach, ask them about their experience. And if you aren’t, ask them what University was like or if they think it was worth it
- take interest in their lives, ask them how their day/week/ weekend was and really listen. As long as they say something there’s always something you can continue the conversation with
- if you start to become more friendly ask if you can spend time in their room at lunch (you may even sit in silence but it’s better than nothing)
- do something outside of class that involves them. Join the musical, offer to take photos for the newsletter, help run younger students activities
- make an inside joke. Something fun and lighthearted that they can expect when they see you. (I kept stealing a trophy he won and put it in my home room, I wrote a ransom note and everything. It was lighthearted and worked to start conversation)
- if you see them walking around say hi or stop and have a chat
- ask for advice over email or something to start other forms of communication
- if you two talk about music, make a playlist and put songs you recommend on there (I did this and it is still one of my favourite things)
- tell them you like to spend time with them, don’t try to hide your feelings but tell them little truths.
- tease them. Tell them to step up their PowerPoint game or to stop acting so old.
Obviously these are concrete examples of what you can do but the most valuable thing you can do is treat them like a real person. Just because they’re your teacher doesn’t mean they’re not human, just like you.
Find what works for you and your tc, it’s not as scary as you think.
