Is it normal my teacher does the things he does?
My teacher, who I have a huge thing for, does things I dont think teachers normally do. He winks at me a lot, and has nicknames for me like His Goober, Cuddlebug and other things that include my name which i wont say. In my yearbook last year, he wrote, "It is awesome to see you grow as a student into a beautiful young woman. I cant wait to have you next year in Math. I hope I see you over the summer!" He has given me higher grades then I deserved, and said I passed everything I needed to so I could pass to the next grade. Maybe he is just being nice though? He makes excuses for me to stay after school or go in early in the morning. When he has lunch duty, he sits on the other side of the lunchroom at the table with other teachers but constantly looks over at me. In class, he he sends out little hints and when he helps me, he either gets really close to me or he brings a chair so close enough so his leg is touching mine. During class when he teaching a lesson, he will look at me the most. He asks about my interests, what i want top do when I am older, my hobbies....everything. He works at a college I wanted to go to, and he told me I should really try to go there. He compliments me on hair and my clothes a lot. He picks on me a lot, in a good way, and always tries talking to me, like stopping me in the hall. He stops by my locker sometimes too. Is he flirting or just being nice?
