Her Teacher Admitted That He Has Feelings For Her, So She Reported Him
This 21-year-old girl is currently in college, and she’s tried her hardest all along to keep things professional with all of her teachers.
She just enrolled in a particular class that she was thrilled to take. Her teacher for this class has a stellar reputation, and people really like him.
But it didn’t take long for her to catch on to him treating her differently than his other students in the class.
Initially, she hoped she was making it all up. Her teacher talked to her more throughout the lectures and would try to get her opinion more frequently than her peers.
Things escalated, and her teacher started sending her messages after class on social media. The notes started out pertaining to their class subjects.
“One day, he sent me a message that said, “I have to admit, I’ve developed a bit of a crush on you. You’re so bright and talented.” I was taken aback,” she explained.
“I didn’t know how to respond. Part of me felt flattered, but another part felt uncomfortable. It’s one thing for a teacher to be friendly and supportive, but crossing that line into personal feelings made me uneasy.”
She took some time to craft a response and said thank you, but she really wants to keep their relationship strictly professional.
She threw in there that she respects him and needs to focus on her education, thinking he would take it well.

Unfortunately, her teacher wasn’t ok with her turning him down, and his advances became more and more inappropriate.
“He’d comment on my appearance and suggest we grab coffee to discuss my career aspirations,” she said.
“I felt trapped because he was still my professor, and I didn’t want to create a scene or make things awkward in class.”
“Feeling stressed, I spoke to a trusted friend about it, and she advised me to report his behavior to the administration. I was hesitant, fearing it would ruin his career or make things uncomfortable for me. But I also knew that what he was doing wasn’t right.”
It was hard for her to do it, but she ultimately reported her teacher. Thankfully, her college believed her and launched an investigation.
Her teacher is suspended temporarily as her college digs into the situation, which makes her feel relieved yet guilty.
“Now, I’m left wondering if I did the right thing. I didn’t want to hurt his career, but I felt I had no choice to protect myself,” she continued.
She’s curious if it was wrong of her to report her teacher for admitting to her that he’s crushing on her.
