My girlfriend has a CRUSH on her professor...

India

Is this normal ? We have been in a relationship for about two years now, and she never felt anything for any other person... Now suddenly, there's this professor that she says she has a crush on. I mean, it couldn't be that serious, could it ? Half of the girls in her class have a crush on this guy, so should I be worrying. I know one thing, if I say anything against the guy, then surely she'll tend to favor him and not me. So what should I do ?

I'd say don't worry about it so much, it's just a little crush no big deal. If you try to make it into a big deal she just might get mad at you. Just stay confident and act like it doesn't bother you that much like you have nothing to worry about. Girls appreciate confidence and not insecurity, so use this as an oppurtunity to show your confidence.

Hey thanks a lot for that. I too thought the same, making a big deal WILL make things worse... And a separate thanks for that last line of yours. I'll remember that.

I wouldn't be at all concerned. After all, she TOLD you about the crush, right? :) If she was seriously interested in her professor or had real feelings for him, not just a "crush," that's really not something she would likely be sharing with you. She probably told you because she thinks it's silly and amusing and she is clearly just one of a lot of girls that find this professor appealing. Kind of like having a crush on a celebrity or someone else where a relationship is unrealistic or quite impossible. My daughter is in college and her Anthropology teacher is like the campus "hottie" as far as teachers go LOL All of the girls struggle to get seats in front during that class because the man is very attractive and interesting... but there is nothing serious involved. Just an appreciation for the man... an infatuation :) If you say things "against the guy," she probably interprets it right away as you being jealous for no reason because she doesn't see a "crush" as anything of consequence.

Dude really don't worry about it. SO she has a little crush on her professor nine times outta ten she is not going to act upon it. Try not to say anything negative about him. She is with you and a crush is a crush nothing like love or whatever.

It is just normal. No need for you to be worried. I don't think it will go to the next level especially if half of the class has a crush on this professor.

Yeah. I thought so. I wanted to know what the others think. I didn't wanna be the guy who "should have thought of it earlier." Thanks a lot for your response. You take care friend...

you should not be worry of this matter, you are his boyfriend and i think he cares for you more than her professor, because most of the girls, if they are so outspoken of their crushes, it's not really a serious matter for them, it's just for fun. serious crushes will be kept secret for most girls.

Yeah I guess so, serious crushes are really kept secret. You know what, your response makes me love her more and more. She's such an angel ! Thank you for your response.
