Do teachers have crushes on students?

Question

Im not talking about:
Paedophiles 
Liking a student because she's hot, and then thinking of her in sexual way (Yes i mean Perverts)
I an talking about The normal average teachers who like a student or have a small crush on them, maybe because they are attached to them or something. But they don't act on it And take the students with full seriousness while teaching. They just have feelings for them.,
Does this really happen?
Because I can tell when a teacher has a crush on me. And im not even hot.

Yes, it can happen. I was a teaching assistant in a Women's Studies program and although you are in a position of power over the students, it doesn't make them any less objectively attractive. That said, I never did anything about it nor did I ever allow myself to become emotionally attached in any way to the students. All the same, being a teacher doesn't change the fact that some of the women in your class who are often a few years younger than you (at least in my case) can share many of the characteristics you find attractive in a woman.

In my case however, I had no crushes on any women in my class because I refused to see them that way and because the position of power makes such relationships fairly problematic. Remember, teachers are people too and in the case of colleges, the teachers are often students themselves (graduate or doctoral) so they aren't that far removed from undergraduates such as yourself.

My advice is just to be aware that universities take sexual harassment very seriously and that you have a right to not be bothered by a teacher who is making inappropriate advances on you. But yes, as your question initially asked, some teachers do have crushes on students and certainly, many if not all teachers reasonably close in age to their students may find some of them attractive.

Hope that helps =)

most university professors end up falling for there grad students, while its rare in schools but colleges are a place where tensions usually run high specially when the teachers are not that old

Or you just imagine they have a crush on you because you like to know you are attractive enough to men like you? Sometimes they do though. And it's wrong

Of course it can happen. Teachers are humans too.

It happens all the time. Girls often have crushes on their teachers as well and flirt with them. Most teachers have the good sense not to act on the attraction.

It's not perverted to be attracted to teenage girls. Men were once teenage boys, and teenage girls were our first exposure to sexual attraction. Just because we get older doesn't make the girls any less attractive. We simply learn not to act on the attraction.
