I like my teacher: what to do?

[Anonymous]

I (18F) like my 30-something teacher. He is always very caring and kind and I think he kinda likes me too, at least in a friendly way, since he even invited me to go play tennis with him (I haven't gone yet), but he is friendly to all his students so I don't know if I should feel any special.
I obviously wouldn't want a serious relationship with him of any kind, since he is so much older than me; I just want to fool around a bit and make him attracted to me.
How could I do that? Do you think it is possible?

Please, I don't want any answers like "just forget him".

I wouldn't do anything, the social stigma with teacher-student relationships is so fooked, that A you can't even tell your friends about your crush, because they will talk about it to their other friends. Then boom rumor at your school and now everyone sees you as this evil Lolita seductress, and that's fine because you're about to graduate so no big deal.

But it sucks cause if you don't tell anyone you're keeping it a secret and if you guys have a relationship (even just fooling around) that might be a secret too, and you don't want that.

However it's possible.
If you are gonna do this: Make sure he's not married or in a committed relationship. That complicates things and causes stress, so don't do that. Say something forward that hints to your attraction to him. Do it when you guys are alone, but not completely alone, when your away from a listening ear. Say something like, "I like how that shirt looks on you," or "Would you ever date anyone younger." I promise you this guy will like pause out of shock and be so confused, but you'll definitely get the idea in his head.

Now to get him attracted to you, I would say be yourself. Which is so cliché to say, but don't hold back with the weirdness, because you want to stand out to him. Be different, and compliment him, basically spoon feed his ego. But don't overdo it. Also try touching him like in an innocent way, like if you're walking past him lightly brush his shoulder, or poke him, just make some type of physical contact. Eye contact is important, when you make it slowly start to look down to his lips, and he'll follow your eyes and he'll know your looking at his lips.

Spend time alone with him outside of class, like just you too talking that way you get to know him better, like if he wants to play tennis with you, then go do it. Make inside jokes with him, and make fun of him too, but not harshly, say something dumb like, "You look like a leprechaun." This will get him to be more comfortable around you and like you more. He'll start to open up more and talk about himself which is a good sign.

This might not work, because maybe he might have nieces or daughters close to your age and he'll think you're too young for him. Which means basically, "never gonna happen because his morals won't allow it" so you'll be SOL (shit out of luck) if that happens.

Disclaimer: If your gonna be bold and do this, accept all consequences that come with doing it. Like maybe rumors being spread about you, and how close you are to said teacher, or maybe rejection, which hurts like heck. He might also be a bad guy, and try to take advantage of you, so run for the hills if that happens.

Or just don't do it and fantasize about him in your head.
Srry I wrote a whole essay :/

Erm no. You don't try to "fool around". you grow up and if he's such a great person, you'd be sorting yourself out rather than thinking you should do anything and potentially fuck up his career, ESPECIALLY when he's not shown anything towards you to hint that.

Tell him you like him on the last day of senior year. That way if he likes you. He can do something about it. Without getting fired. If he doesn’t. You’ll never have to see him again.

I know he dose I'm 30 something and think 18 year olds are sexy.

Wait until he isn't your teacher. The power dynamic isn't good even if you just want to fool around.

Just go with the flow and see what develops/happens
