I am 19 years old. I am a girl. I read in college. A teacher in my college seemed to like me. He gives me preferences. He gave me his mail id and phone number. I can call him whenever I like. he always asks me to go to college whether anyone comes or not. It seems some of his friends knows this. He gave me marks in a wrong answer in the exam, while he did not give others for the same answer. He stares at me not normally. He creates issues to make me go to the college. He always ask me to go to college. Other students are afraid of his strictness but he jokes with me and tries to spend time alone with me pretending that he is helping me in my studies. Does he love me?




Answer:

I don't know if he loves you or not. He is definitely attracted to you. Whether or not he is interested in a long term romantic relationship, or a short term physical relationship, I can't say.

Be careful though. It's generally thought to be unethical for a teacher to use his authority to enter into a relationship with one of his students. He shouldn't be tricking you to come in to school under the guise of a class-related meeting. Also, it is unethical for him to be giving you special treatment, and grading your exams differently.

If you are attracted to this guy, then try to pursue the relationship outside of the classroom and student-teacher relationship. It may be best to wait until you are no longer his student.

If you are not attracted to him, then tell him you need to be treated like any other student. If he continues to pursue you and use his authority role to make you spend time with him, contact the appropriate member of your school's administration, and explain what is going on. You can use your altered test scores as proof.

Good Luck Mousumi...
