Probably, you are just admitting it.
Sexual attraction is a normal part of human life. It manifests as a quality in many relationships from daily life, business, all spheres of living. When people act without foresight, chaos reigns. When people know themselves , see their own feelings, note them & move on, well, that's mature adult life.
Over the years to come you may note feelings for hundreds, even thousands of people. That's OK. If you continue with the self honesty & self awareness, you will have established yourself as....more than an animal (something many apparent humans fail to do for themselves) The quality of maturity is in part a gift we give ourselves as well as to the world.
Good Luck, My Young Friend!

My daughter has just started at the same high school that I attended. The teacher I had a crush on is now the head teacher!! Of course my daughter thinks I'm mad for having a crush on such an old man!! But she just doesn't understand .......yet. Yes its perfectly normal. I'm 35 and still get crushes, its just harmless wishful thinking.

Yes had a massive crush on my french teacher,english teacher and also the student teacher we had now this was thirty something years ago and it was normal and part of growing up. Today I am happily married but have a huge crush and wait for this and no shooting me down in flames Simon Cowell!
Nothing wrong in a harmless crush it is oversteping those bounderies is when it becomes a problem.
I think you are normal however I know no hope for me is there? lol

Yes its normal. Its just an attraction to another person. When I went to uni as a mature student my lecturer had a crush on me. It felt like being teacher's pet but it was harmless flirtation. Sometimes you hear of it leading to relationships or affairs but it is no different to working somewhere else and being attracted to someone. It just feels wrong this time because you are a student and he is a teacher and we always think of that as wrong because school implies children (minors) in a teachers care. This is different so don't worry yourself about it.

im a guy and i can safely say Oh hell yea
many lady teachers growing up i had a crush on even since the 3rd grade
When a guy gets to high school he is going thru puberty . Many female high school teachers are but 22 years old

Everyone fancies a teacher at some point don't they? I used to fancy my Head Teacher when I was at primary school, then (amongst others) at secondary school, I found I fancied my -female- English teacher. Very strange, but it often happens. I also liked the look of one of the college lecturers and he was very tasty but such an arrogant git, that nobody had a crush on him. lol.

Yes, it's normal, and all my female friends from undergraduate (and some from graduate) school have admitted at least once to be attracted to professors. This impressionability fades away with age, though. And the best thing to do is not to do anything, just find yourself some other things to do and think about, such as hanging out with friends or sports.

It can happen. Most universities have guidelines about staff-student relationships - they advise staff against relationships with undergraduates, and advise that PhD supervisors do not start a relationship with anyone they are supervising... Completely normal that you might have a crush on a professor.

Yes... But it seem's not the same teachers my friends had crushes on, so it was about thier interaction with me, not superficial looks or teenage male hormones.
I think it's perfectly normal, I grew out of it and accept it as part (funny old) life.
