Have you ever felt uncomfortable talking to someone?

There is one student from my class who loves to have a conversation with me both online and offline. Among my students, he is the one who is more mature. He is a cop and a very observant person. He is smart but impatient. Whenever he is annoyed with some of his classmates, he will tell it to me.
Just last time, he told me that I looked pale. I just ignored it because he sent the message late and I was very sleepy already to talk with him. We met in the university yesterday but I was busy to talk to him. A while ago, he told me I looked pale again. I told him that I am a busy person and I don't have time to put makeup on. Actually, I don't really know how to put a makeup. He replied by telling me I already look good without makeup but he thinks I should take good care of myself more.
I was touched by his message. On the other hand, I felt a bit conscious because I have noticed that he has been observing me quite differently from the rest of the class. He asked me if I will be teaching again next semester. Then, he added that if I will not teach, he will definitely visit me in my other school.
Have you experienced being uncomfortable to a person because of what that person is saying or doing?

@SIMPLYD Yes, that is what I have been trying to do. He is very young for me and besides, I already have a boyfriend. I also cannot imagine myself having my student as my boyfriend. It feels awkward.

@SIMPLYD True! He is my facebook friend too and he can see my profile photo so he will know that I have already a boyfriend.

Private messaging you about non-related school sends me a vibe he may have a crush on you!?

@infatuatedbby Yes, he tells me about his personal life even I am not asking for it. He also asked me last time if I could join him in search of the person who shot his grandfather. Crush is okay but I don't want it to be deeper than that.

@annierose Yes that is too much of an extent, I hope it's nothing more than a crush. Like a stalker would be no no

@marlina Hi Marlina! Good day! Thank you. I am trying to be extra-careful when I am talking with him. His concern is out of ordinary for a student.

OMG! Better not post anything on Facebook and change your profile photos, edit profile photo and make it look like an ugliest creature. Hide your video/photo albums too 
kidding. There were some who were obsessed with me they liked me even if I don't bath for years (exaggerating). Scary.
I had married men suitors who are rich. I am poor so maybe they thought they could "buy" me I don't want to offend them so what I did one time I replied his text pretending I am my bf. I just asked "why are you texting my gf?" He did not reply and didn't text me anymore and when he calls I ask any of my male friends to answer just "hello" "hello" "hello" "sorry I cannot hear you" "hello" even the connection is very clear.

@AkoPinay I agree with you. I hope that stereotyping about Filipinas will sometimes come to an end. I encountered it with my colleagues too. They thought I am able to travel just because of my foreign boyfriend.

@Dextoi Hi Dex! It sounds queer for me. It seems out of the ordinary. Were you like that when you were still a student?

@Dextoi Do you still have that attitude toward your crush until now?

@annierose lol... There was a time when I was attracted to my teacher.. I forgot who it was but I really did. But not to a point where I compliment her too much. Just looking at a person is enough for me...
As they say, if you love a flower, don't pick it up...
I just let them be for others to behold... lol...

Some people just give you the vibe. I am sorry he makes you feel that way. I would be very uncomfortable in that situation also.

@Happy2BeMe Hi L_B! Good day! His behavior is unusual for me. I have many students but he is the only who seems very concern about me.

@annierose it is kind of odd. Sounds like a stalker, you best be careful.

@Happy2BeMe Yes, I agree with you. I had a stalker before and it was very different for me to get rid of him. I do not want another stalker.
