He had average looks but I don’t know why he attracted me
We have all heard stories about students crushing on their teachers but I never imagined it would happen to me. Yet, there I was, sitting in a crowded lecture hall, heart racing every time he spoke. A seasoned academic, brilliant in every way, and a man whose passion for his subject seemed to light up the entire lecture hall. My crush on my university teacher was something I kept to myself but it was a storm of emotions I could never forget.
The Attraction
At first, it felt like admiration. He was intelligent, confident, and passionate about his subject – qualities I’ve always admired in people. Accounting was always difficult for me but the way he teaches was incredible. As he explained numerical with enthusiasm, breaking down complex topics into simple ideas, I found myself hanging onto his every word. But somewhere along the line, I realized my admiration had crossed into something more.
The Day I Realized
It hit me one day during a lecture. He smiled at something I had said, and my heart fluttered in a way I had never experienced before. Suddenly, I was aware of how much time I spent thinking about him, replaying his class conversations in my mind, or finding reasons to stay after class. That’s when I realised it was not just admiration. I had a crush.
