What does it mean if my teacher does these things like teasing and fake punch my arms?

[Anonymous]

I’m 30, and My teacher is 50, I was his only student for my internship for 7 weeks. Every day, there were some moments where he playfully teased, not insulting, me by slightly fake punching me too. It was not annoying at all, but I was noticing he did that.

When my internship with him ended I left and said to him thank you for everything, since he was my teacher for those weeks. When I got home, a few hours later, he texted me, “it was a pleasure to have you” with exclamation marks. No teacher of mine ever personally texted me like him.
So what does this ALL mean, did he text me cause he’s really attracted to me or just likes me as a student?

I honestly can't quite tell. He may just be one of those playful people that don't understand boundaries. At the same time, if he messages you more in the future, he probably likes you.

Sounds like he might have a crush on you, just ignore the text and extra contact, and see if that will end it.

Are you sure it’s a crush?

[JanJan3838]

I mean if that is as far as everything has went so far, then yes I would think it was a crush. Unless there is more that happened?

I’m a playful type of guy. Although I do find some women attractive whom I play around with, I never let it get to the point where it becomes something personal.

Did you ever play around with women that are Not attractive?

[Whizzy83]

Yah sure. They tend to have the best personality. The thing is I’m an attractive person who sends off the message as a flirt. I’m in trouble now because talking to women get me in trouble. Even though I don’t think I’m flirting for some reason girls will start dressing up more and doing their hair. That’s when I know my Q is to stop talking to them a little bit

He liked you as a student. Technically you was his intern, so boss is a better term than teacher.

You asked this before, and received plenty of responses telling you that the message did not mean he liked you beyond a student. Why are you asking this again? I don't get why you girls do this... smh
