Is it normal that i'm in love with my teenage patient?

I am a life coach and I started seeing a 15-year-old female patient in January of 2013. It wasn't long before I started to see her in a different way. She looks up to me and sees me as strong and competent. At some point my interest became some sort of an obsession, I really felt like she felt the same way about me. She is so innocent and beautiful and I can't stop thinking about her, I haven't for a long time. I am a professional and I have been doing this for a while and I have never felt anything like this. I made a move in March of 2014 right after she turned 17. We had sex but she has been hot and cold about the whole thing and kind of emotional. I would NEVER hurt her of course. Is this normal?

    Yeah you sound like a real professional.

    Here's some free life coaching advice, stay the fuck away from her and find a job you're better suited for.

    Three things guy:

    First off, you literally committed statutory rape. Think about that fact for a moment.

    Second off, due to the nature of your profession, you are taking advantage of an underage individual. Trying to escalate it further to a romantic relationship is even less ethical. You should stop whatever advising contract you have with her as soon as possible.

    Thirdly, get a job that isn't being a life coach. Life coaches are scam artists.If you want to help people, study to be a psychiatrist or social worker. That being said, based on my first point, you should check yourself into one of those two before you go much further in life.

    Also, I really want to make sure you understand this: YOU COMMITTED STATUTORY RAPE.

    How uninterestining, dull-witted, and desperate does one have to be to find a 15 year old as a suitable lifemate?

    That's beside the point. . .

    . . . I hope I see your face when Chris Hansen asks you to take a seat.

    sadly this type of "teacher/coach/therapist falling in love with innocent student/having meaningful relationship" scenario is not rare.
    WHY a grown adult would want to fill some type of void or satisfaction in their life with a child or a minor is beyond me. omg:/ did u have deprived teen years or something

    Of course she is going to be hot and cold with you shes practically a KID and doesnt even understand what she did. how did you sex her btw did you lure her into your home u do realize this could get u into alot of trouble when she tells someone about it, which eventually she will

    No. Even if she's of age, the power dynamics of your relationship before mean that this is inherently unhealthy, especially considering that she's expressing doubts. Leave her the fuck alone. There's so much potential for abuse here, even if you argue that having sex with a 17 year old who was your fucking patient wasn't abusive.

    You need to turn yourself in to the authorities. I can only hope that the administration of this site may contact them on your behalf and give up your IP in order for them to trace your home address. :D

    It's disgusting that you took advantage of your position that way. I would recommend finding a new career. Not to be rude, I just wouldn't want that to happen again.

    Meanwhile 20,000 girls will be raped by men more than twice their age today WITHOUT CONSENT you shouldn't of posted that though, hopefully if you don't get arrested you can wait until she turns 18 and THEN YOU CAN BE WITH HER

    Don't listen to all the people here... While it may not be normal, I cannot say that I think it's bad, unethical or anything similar...

    After all, once she turns 18 you're good to go anyways whatever other people say... I don't really see why people would complain about someone >18 having a relationship (including sexual intercourse) with an underage person that is >16 years old...
