i want to cook her dinner so bad

A get to know J post!

so i’ve been in this community since like 2016, but had to keep deactivating my previous blogs because my “friends” found out and were telling people. i realised i ramble a lot about j but haven’t really made a post describing what she’s like so here it is!

shes 30 years older than me and teaches classics - i have her for latin (i wanted to take the other subject she teaches but it clashed on my timetable sadly)

she was my teacher in my first year of secondary school and i’ve had her every year apart from one. this is now my last year of school.

i’d never studied latin before and she made me fall in love with the subject and i’m doing it in university next year too

shes quite tall, blonde , always wears a suit and looks kind of like cate blanchett/ gillian anderson

milf vibes even tho she doesn’t have kids

she’s …. kind of single ? we’ve talked about this she’s in a kind of long distance relationship thing but has said she’s not going to marry him and has seen him like .. twice so i dk what that means

cat person :))))))))

i have her class once or twice a week just sadly , but usually come in for a chat on a monday and we have . really good conversations that get quite personal

she likes girls (!!!!) i’m like 99% sure, we have talked about this and she gave me advice about it too

i’m pretty sure she suspects i have feelings for her bc it’s not really normal where i’m from to like go and just speak to teachers , but i haven’t told her anything and won’t until she’s not my teacher anymore

How to get closer to your TC 💌

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.

i’ve had feelings for her ever since my first year of school and had a tc blog like 5 years ago but now i’m back for my last year of school

i am probably going to tell her how i feel the last time i ever see her (i will be 18 and not coming back to school so hopefully it won’t be too weird for her)

she is the most beautiful person i’ve ever seen

How to get closer to your tc

I see a lot of you guys upset because you and your tc’s aren’t close. But I have a few ideas, because I have gotten somewhat close with mine.

This is just excuses to talk to them pretty much.

Make small talk. Whatever it is, smile or wave in the hallway, come up and make small talk after class.

Go to extra help/tutoring. This was the main thing that got me closer with K. This is mainly if you have trouble in the area of the subject, but it’s great one on one. You can talk A LOT.

Emails. “My Tc Is ToO sErIoUs” STILL EMAIL THEM. Sometimes if you have a question, email them! Could even throw in a few friendly words.

Try to make them laugh. Even if it’s not direct. I once told a joke to another girl and I just hear this small chuckle from across the room. And there K is, snickering at my joke. So try that!

Almost forgot that some of you do online schooling! Not to worry, sometimes try to muster the smallest question up and pm them!

Here’s something I’ve done before: sometimes K makes us just do certain questions for homework, and I did an extra one, just to make small talk. If that works, do it!

Compliment them! I would mainly compliment their outfit, but don’t be too exaggerated about it.

If you email them, always start off with “Hey (tc), I hope you’re doing great.” That gives off “I’m being friendly” vibes to them, so they’ll be friendly too!

Ideas!

“Hey! I don’t understand (question). Can you explain it please?”

“*insert witty remark that would make them laugh*”

“Hi, I think I left my (item) in here. Have you seen it?”

“I like your (item of clothing)!”

Feel free to think of more!
