I am very much attracted to my former professor. I was in his class last 2014. He made me love the subject so much that I developed a crush on him.
Anyway, he would seem to always pay special attention to me back when I was his student. Like he would always wander over to my work station, touch my back or my shoulder. He’d ask random and unrelated questions, when I would ask for help he would lean in really close until our arms are touching.
I would see him always looking my way whenever he’s in front. By this time, I learned that he’s in a relationship. He mentioned it in class, but he would always stress out that he’s not yet getting married, etc.
Now, two years later, we haven’t been in the same classroom since the last term I had with him. But whenever I would walk by his room, I would always see him looking at me. When we’d pass by each other on the hallways he’d always smile at me. Sometimes we would talk for a short time and he’d touch my shoulder or something.Other times, when he happens to pass by me when I’m talking to someone else, I can see him looking. And there was this one time that I was with a guy friend and he was talking to a former student of his. He was looking at me occasionally but didn’t say anthing. I thought it was weird.
I haven’t seen him do this with another student, current nor past. So this makes me wonder if this is just the way he is or maybe there’s something more.
I’m graduating in February and I really want to know if this is just wishful thinking on my part or there is a possibility that he might like me too.
Thank you

It sounds like he likes you, too! 🙂

Listen, it’s been all “hands on the shoulder” and “smiles” since 2014? This professor is playing it safe because you’ve been his student. Now that you’re graduating, let go of the “student-teacher” veil.
The next time he smiles at you in the hallway, don’t just smile back. Stop and say, “I’m finally graduating in February, so you won’t have to worry about ‘professor code’ anymore. Let’s go for coffee.” If he says yes to coffee or a date, fine, don’t waste your youth on such “hallway crushes.”
