I completely understand how you feel, because I've fallen hard for a young staff member too. But you need to look at this realistically. It's just not going to happen. He's a professional adult, and you're in high school. Even if he did think you were cute, he wouldn't sacrifice his job, dignity and life to be with you. And that doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you. You're amazing and deserve all the best in the world. But this isn't something you want to get involved in.
Therapists are trained to be friendly and mirror behavior. That doesn't mean that he's lying, but his job is to get along with you and ask you about your life. He's your therapist, not your friend. You can tell him anything, and he wants to help! But he's not there to date you.
I'm in psychology, btw.0 0 0 0i'm not in high school...i'm in graduate school, I'm in my 20s..if you read the question
not to be a bitch but I think me being in graduate school (past college and all that) changes things slightly. and he isn't my psychologist. he works in the professional training center so really his job is to give me advice for job searches but I always end up talking about other things with him.
You're completely right, I missed your age when I read it. Thanks for pointing that out. And yes, that changes a lot. I would still be careful, but you are an adult and can make these sorts of decisions on our own. He might not be allowed to be your counselor if he dates you (policy with anyone who does counseling or therapy), but if that's okay with you, than I wouldn't be too concerned. Good luck with whatever you decide!

You're screwed. If he's smart, he won't dare touch you. That's his job right out the window. If he's not... well, then that's his job right out the window, tons of drama for both of you, and a relationship that's doomed to fail. You don't hook up with someone when your relationship is supposed to be professional.

Well could he be attracted to me?
