How To Get Closer With Your Teacher Crush

Pasquale Autorino

.

imagine …

your tc marking an essay or test and smiling softly at the doodles and drawings you did out of boredom

choosing to mark your work first, so you get it earlier, or last, just to annoy you

your tc immediately recognising your handwriting and admiring it because it’s just so you

being SO. PROUD. when you get a good grade if you were struggling, even in another subjects

hearing you defend him/her in passing conversation with friends, and defending you if another teacher complains about you

your tc understanding stress and being chill about it, extending due dates etc because they want you to focus on your health

your tc admiring you while you’re in your element (besides their subject) like singing/art/etc

your tc looking at you with a smile and fighting the urge to wave as you pass their classroom without realising

noticing when you get a haircut or when you wear a new outfit/accessory to school

him/her letting you off with a warning about dress codes bc you kinda just rock it

your tc cheering just a little louder when you receive an award or achievement

a small part of him/her hoping its you visiting their office when they hear the familiar knock at the door

your tc giving you That look when people are being dumb and not paying attention in class because they kinda just wanna sit and teach you

yr welcome ( ♥︎ω♥︎)੭ꠥ⁾⁾˚ ⁺˳✧༚

I don’t think I’ll ever forget you. But when I think of you, I won’t be remembering you as love, because you were far from it. I’ll remember you as my biggest heartbreak. You were a maybe. An almost. You were my dream that came to life, but for it to last was too good to be true. And to this day, I don’t think there’s anything more tragic that’s happened to me.

c / maybe one day you’ll become less of a core memory

she asked me if i was down today like do i really look that depressed lmao?? but we had an hour long conversation and i feel like i’ve really got to know her better . she said she always looks forward to seeing me and she doesn’t really talk to many other teachers in our school (there are reasons but if i posted it here anyone who looked at this account would instantly know who i was ) and it was so cute i almost died 🥰shes started telling me more personal stuff too i really love it- me 7 years ago would never have imagined this

How to get closer to your tc

I see a lot of you guys upset because you and your tc’s aren’t close. But I have a few ideas, because I have gotten somewhat close with mine.

This is just excuses to talk to them pretty much.

Make small talk. Whatever it is, smile or wave in the hallway, come up and make small talk after class.

Go to extra help/tutoring. This was the main thing that got me closer with K. This is mainly if you have trouble in the area of the subject, but it’s great one on one. You can talk A LOT.

Emails. “My Tc Is ToO sErIoUs” STILL EMAIL THEM. Sometimes if you have a question, email them! Could even throw in a few friendly words.

Try to make them laugh. Even if it’s not direct. I once told a joke to another girl and I just hear this small chuckle from across the room. And there K is, snickering at my joke. So try that!

Almost forgot that some of you do online schooling! Not to worry, sometimes try to muster the smallest question up and pm them!

Here’s something I’ve done before: sometimes K makes us just do certain questions for homework, and I did an extra one, just to make small talk. If that works, do it!

Compliment them! I would mainly compliment their outfit, but don’t be too exaggerated about it.

If you email them, always start off with “Hey (tc), I hope you’re doing great.” That gives off “I’m being friendly” vibes to them, so they’ll be friendly too!

Ideas!

“Hey! I don’t understand (question). Can you explain it please?”

“*insert witty remark that would make them laugh*”

“Hi, I think I left my (item) in here. Have you seen it?”

“I like your (item of clothing)!”

Feel free to think of more!

j told me how she loves x files and gillian anderson so naturally i had to start watching it (also may or may not have looked at her facebook many times and one of her old profile photos is gillian anderson. i’m so sad she doesn’t use social media anymore though she said she doesn’t like it )
