HELP, I can't stop thinking about my professor, he's been on my mind the past week! What do I do?


Hi! I'm a freshman in college and I'm falling behind in class because I skipped some lectures like a fool. He was kind enough to offer additional help in his other classes which I gratefully accepted, but every time he comes near me and looks at my classwork progress, I feel a blush creep across the entirety of my face. I try to play stupid and pretend I'm not flustered, but both of us knew, and he played along by not calling me out on it. I acted confused when he explained, and didn't hear what he said sometimes because I was too busy thinking about him being close to me. I can't take it. I know I have a slim chance already, seeing as there's no ring on his finger, meaning either:

1. His SO is gone
2. He's career-oriented (which I think is more likely; I browsed through his work and he's written a few papers on his area of interest)
I'm not trying to get with him. I'm 2/10, not white, and have poor social skills. I wish I wasn't sometimes; I see those stories of pretty white girls seducing their professor, and making them fall head over heels for them, and I feel a deep sadness within. There's no point in trying because he would know I'm not worth the risk.

Background: My father also wasn't a part of my life because he was abusive to my mother for giving birth to me instead of aborting; I was female, and he hated being unable to "pass on" anything he had. So we left. I grew up under my mother's moods that changed faster than anyone's I've seen. I grew up brainwashed into thinking I was wrong about everything she berated me for, and although I do very much appreciate the roof she put over my head, I do not appreciate her being unable to act like a mother.

Tldr; I wanted my prof to fuck my brains out and use me then kill me while i'm still feeling bliss because i've already had too many disappointments in life, but then I started thinking about him more and now it's not just a crush based on sexual attraction.
