Is it normal to fall in love with a same-sex teacher?

i know how u feel cause the same thing happened to me before a year, she was my english teacher(same sex), and its the most feeling in all my life thats hurts so much!! ,i know its so SAD, and here is my advice: forget her, i know u cant cause you love her alot but forget her cause it just making u sad and no thing else..
with best luck :D

I'm not sure if you meant that you were in love with a different science teacher when you said "(Previously, I was even in love with my science teacher for 2 years).", or if you are still talking about the same biology teacher. If it was a different teacher 2 years ago, I'm pretty sure it's just a crush type of deal. She's an authoritative figure whom you admire, and that's pretty much it. If not, the fact that you didn't know she was married shows that you don't know this woman very well (married people tend to talk about their families a lot).

Please please please don't tell her that you love her. It would make things very uncomfortable for the woman and for you.

It has nothing to do with same sex relationships. This is her JOB. Her position is a lot like a boss, and you being a student are like an employee. She may absolutely love teaching, but all teachers strive to still keep up their professionalism. Telling her your feelings would not only be crossing the line between professionalism in the workplace and her personal life, but it would be disrupting her marriage (or at least causing some uneasy feelings on her part.)

It's normal; Clayman is perfectly right. I even thought I was gay for the longest time because of this.

Until of course, I realized that lesbian sex doesn't really do much for me, but I could fuck a guy all day long.

If you can express your admiration for what she does and respect her as a person without an abnormal personal attachment, then I don't think there's any harm in feeling this way, or even trying to develop a friendship with her. I have teachers from my high school years that I still talk to on Facebook and visit when I'm in the area.

Sounds more like a girl crush rather than love. You feel like you love her cuz she is everything you strive to be. Beautiful, Intelligent, and successful at work and home. (Not to say you aren't beautiful and intelligent.)

This normally happens with completely straight women and most of them don't notice their infatuation with the woman till a friend makes a comment about how they have been acting. But when a woman who is either a lesbian, bisexual, or is bi-curious gets a girl crush it may develop into a full blown sexual attraction. You maybe bi-curious and that's why you feel in love. I'd say you should just find a man or woman your age to date. But I also think it be good for you to tell her how you feel when you are both alone. She may feel uneasy about it but if she is a good teacher she can find the right way to deal with it and help you understand your feelings.

It's sad that she's married?

Yeah you really know nothing about this teracher besides that she's a good teacher, is married, and that she's funny.

your just being dumb.

Hey there :) After 7 years I think I should ask how did it go with your teacher? I am going through a similar fact here... I am not sure if I am a lesbian a straight or a bisexual but I think I am in love with my English teacher at school who is a lesbian (yay)! My junior and senior high school (she teaches in the senior) are in the same building and I am in love with her since the first time I saw her.. Means 4 years now even if she was not yet my teacher, there was something... Imagine how happy I was when this year after 3 years I learnt she was a lesbian. I really admire her she has so many talents and all my classmates say we look alike in the outside but mostly in the inside.(We both are musicians she plays in theatre and I want to be an actress etc) I think of her all the time really but sometimes I feel sad when I think that nothing is gonna happen between us. (she is like 27-30 years older.......) The thing is I feel this is the person I want to share my life for so many reasons and this emotion is so serious. I saw her by chance getting off the same train as me (from a town we went the same date 6 hours far from where we live), I saw her by chance in the metro (not where I live) and we got off in the same station, and in concerts.. They seemed to me like signs. Well, I am not going to tell her anything, but, in two years I am off school and I have thought to ask her to teach me the accordion then cause I won't stand having her far.. How does this sound? (Now in the summer she is having some concerts with her band I will go to one of them for sure.. If I go to more would it be ''weird'' ? )

I have the same situation, she arrived in September. She is the same sex as me but I am not lesbian. I think it is just a phase but it has been half a year now and I haven't moved on. It's not so much wanting to be in a sexual relationship with her, I just really like her a lot and I have strong feelings for her

Same, I have this sport teacher and she's amazing, she's really kind and we have everything in common. I feel like I love her, i get butterflies everytime I see her. She's leaving soon though and i feel like I'm going to cry.

Theres a saying, "when you think someomes perfect you dont really know them you just know there outside composure and when you start seeing there imperfect side your seeing their inside self their true self." Seems to me she good at keeping her personal life seperate from her work. You'll get no where by watching her in composure. Tell her you want to be friends and not student/teacher form then maybe she'll let her guard down and show you her true self.

The good lord accepts all acts of courage and abondonment x

This sounds like my coming out story! The first real woman I ever laid eyes on was my form tutor and science teacher, like you said 'perfect' ..and I told her :) obviously nothing happened but felt so good to get it off my chest and she said it was a brave thing to do.. Now (I'm 22) and with sex stuff the student teacher role playing is always fun ;)

I have totally identical situation, same years and everything but yet she isn't married. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I think you should try to become friend with her if it's possible and after some time tell her the truth. But the point is what is your ambition about her? Do you want to be romantically involved with her or just be friends? My advice: despite everything don't ever lose your faith and don't despair because what you feel is something precious and that's why you're special. It's perfectly normal I reckon. ;)

Uhhhh....what route would that be? To move on, I hope?

Unless you have any kind of personal relationship with this lady (ie, you're not just a face in the crowd) then you're probably not truly in love, just infatuated. You don't really know anything about her except that she has a sense of humor and is a good teacher.

You need to stop having these unrealistic expectations about your relationships and keep things in perspective.

Also, same-sex relationships aren't at all abnormal.

Why... I have the same situation. It has been two years now, and wow. Well.. I'm not sure of what to advice since I seek some too.

But my best wishes :) Goodluck :)
