Female Advice Preferred: It's her......

[ballet4life]

I have known that I was not straight for a while now. But I wasn't ready to fall in love. Not ready at all. The problem is, she's 23 and I'm 13. She's my ballet teacher...... I love her to pieces. She would be arrested if anything happened between us at all. I admit that I want so much from her. I want to go all the way. I try to forget and think about other things, but when I see her my heart pounds and I go red. I can't stop thinking about her! And I try. But I want her so badly...... what to do? She also has a boyfriend. A serious boyfriend. Should I tell her? It's been 5 months since I fell in love.

Hi there. I'm sorry, it's always hard when you really like someone but don't feel you can do anything about it Honestly, it sounds like in this situation there's nothing you really can do. Your teacher's a lot older than you, and has a boyfriend. If you tell her, unfortunately I don't think your feelings will be reciprocated. It will just put her in a really uncomfortable position. It sounds like you're struggling a bit with this, which is understandable...do you think it would help if you swapped ballet classes for a while so you don't see her all the time? I know it's hard to imagine right now, but eventually you'll move on and meet someone closer to your age who's avaliable and makes you happy

I hate those kinds of crushes...
Anyways, I'm not sure if telling her is the best idea, honestly. Not outright, at least. Because like you said, nothing could happen without her being arrested.
However, there are ways to let her know that you appreciate her and like her as a person without making things overly awkward. Thank her for the help she's given you, compliment her on her strengths, things like that. I find that things like that can help with the burning "Must do something must must" feeling that you seem to have.
And if you're getting seriously distracted, you might want to switch classes, like chook said.
I hope you find someone more available in the future.

I agree with what Ella and Nora said. I don't think it's a good idea to tell her. It will put her in a really akward position. And you're right, if something were to happen she would get put in jail and lose her job. If you feel like things are getting out of control you might want to switch instructors. I hope this helps a little. And I do think you find someone a lot closer to your age that you fall for, it may not happen for a couple of years but it will happen.
