How To Get Closer To Your TC 💌

How to get closer to your TC 💌

As a seasoned tc’er and someone who has a lot of experience with telling my tc exactly how I feel I thought I would put together a list of things I did (or I think would work) to get closer with your tc.

It is important that you do not do these things under any expectation that they will reciprocate any feelings you have. Respect boundaries. Remember they are people and that being a friend/mentor will be more valuable to you than you realise. DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING ROMANTIC.

- be vocal and interactive in class, being engaged in a teachers lesson is not only flattering but shows you have interest

- try to find some common ground, for my tc it was vinyls and our love of movies

- don’t try to force something romantic. Aim to be friends because that is the only way they will open up and talk to you like anything more than a student

- if your school had any fun events or games, start a rivalry and tease them about you winning it. Challenge them.

- compliment them, everyone likes compliments and it doesn’t have to be super obvious. Some compliments I would recommed are; I love your tshirt, your hair looks good today, that lesson was really fun/interesting, you’re super funny or smart. Stuff like that.

- say thank you when you leave class, it’s the little things that make you seem polite and stick out from the crowd

- if you’re looking to go into the subject they teach, ask them about their experience. And if you aren’t, ask them what University was like or if they think it was worth it

- take interest in their lives, ask them how their day/week/ weekend was and really listen. As long as they say something there’s always something you can continue the conversation with

- if you start to become more friendly ask if you can spend time in their room at lunch (you may even sit in silence but it’s better than nothing)

- do something outside of class that involves them. Join the musical, offer to take photos for the newsletter, help run younger students activities

- make an inside joke. Something fun and lighthearted that they can expect when they see you. (I kept stealing a trophy he won and put it in my home room, I wrote a ransom note and everything. It was lighthearted and worked to start conversation)

- if you see them walking around say hi or stop and have a chat

- ask for advice over email or something to start other forms of communication

- if you two talk about music, make a playlist and put songs you recommend on there (I did this and it is still one of my favourite things)

- tell them you like to spend time with them, don’t try to hide your feelings but tell them little truths.

- tease them. Tell them to step up their PowerPoint game or to stop acting so old.

Obviously these are concrete examples of what you can do but the most valuable thing you can do is treat them like a real person. Just because they’re your teacher doesn’t mean they’re not human, just like you.

Find what works for you and your tc, it’s not as scary as you think.

How to get closer with your teacher crush

A lot of y’all asked me to make this post so here is it

Be interested and focused in their lesson

Have good grades in their class

Don’t be afraid to ask for help if it’s really not a subject you are good into

Be intelligent, don’t act dumb to get their attention, they will see as a bad student

Stay after class to talk with them about class or ask them about something concerning homework, eventually you could start talking about other topics not concerning school

Be yourself, don’t fake your personality, show them the real you

Be bold and confident, keep eye contact, talk to them in the hallways, start conversations…

Get how to contact them ( their email, number, social media), ask them if they can give it to you do you can send them a project or an additional work you would like to have their opinion on and boom now you have it

Find the place where they usually stay in the school and try to be there as much as you can, of course being there and not doing anything is unnecessary, so try to talk with them, if it’s the library you can start talking about books and a longer conversation will come

Join a club they lead, it’s a great new experience for you and a good way to be closer to them

Give them a gift and the end of the year, be original

Seek a friendship with them not a romantic relationship, by seeking a romantic relationship you will most likely end up being disappointed

Once you know them better, see if you share any similar interests, it’s a great conversation starter

Make inside jokes that no one around you understand, I swear it’s so funny

Make them think of you when they see something you like by talking about it a lot or posting about it if they have your socials, that way they will think of you every time they see it and even send you stuff related to it

Ask them for suggestions, it can be about books, movies, songs, places, games,etc

Be polite and respectful

Be interested in learning things about them

Good luck everyone! If you want more details you can ask me with the questions option or text me :)

February TC Challenge Day 1

1.) What is one trait you found in your TC(s) that you find irreplacable, and why?

- the way she speaks and carries herself is so unlike anyone i have ever met or spoken to. She’s always in a suit and she dresses so much better and more formally than all the other teachers and the way she pronounces things (for example her slight lisp and the way she pronounces “s” sounds is so uniquely beautiful.) and her hair i love it sm she’s so blonde and amazing
