I try to make friends with my teacher
Hopefully this doesn't sound creepy...
I have a teacher, who I enjoy talking to. He is a very strict teacher, and a great one (also kind) too...
Sometimes, I see him talking to college students whom visit, and they seem to be socially adept and share laughs... I tend to attempt to open in conversation with him but he gives short responses or says "hmm"
I don't have a crush on him (and if I am biologically infatuated by him, it's likely that I wish to still be friends and not act upon the crush... It could be a crush, but I would still want to be friends with him and talk rather than get affectionate...)
I would sometimes continually attempt to engage in conversation, however when I'm talking he kinda listens, but doesn't actually respond much, he may nod or whatnot, or give short responses but he wouldn't really contribute to the conversation.
I don't want to sound like a creep (eek), but I then get kinda jealous when I see him sharing laughs with another student and talking for a bit.
He doesn't find me annoying, but I'm curious about this. I would love to become friends with him, but maybe I obsess over this too much...
Apologies if this sounds awful
