You don't understand, when I say ridiculously in love, I mean RIDICULOUSLY in love. I've liked him since last year, two semesters ago. I didn't even have him last semester because he wasn't teaching at my university but he's still the only thing I thought about all day and night all semester and all summer! How frikkin insane is that. He's young and he's not married.
I know I'm in love so that's not the question, the question is what do I do? I don't know if he likes me, I don't know what he thinks of me.
After a trillion years I finally got up the courage to go talk to him two weeks ago. So I go up to him after class and I told him about an article I'd found that was really interesting and asked him if I could send it to him. He was really nice about it ("Sure you can!" I think he sensed my nervousness). So I did. He wrote back thanking me for "sharing that with" him.
Then I went and asked him a question yesterday after class

(you have to remember these after class questions take A LOT of courage from my side) and HE KNEW MY NAME! okay, it sounds lame yes, but I was jumping up and down about it (in my head, not in actuality) all day yesterday and all day today. He knew my name! I mean, he didn't just know it, he used it in a sentence. He was explaining why I couldn't do something for class (it's a long story, I asked him something about extra credit) and he replied with "because you see - insert name -, if I let you do that..."
but yeah, it was awesome.
okay, so now back to my question. What do I do?

whoah, wait, so you guys think he knows? yikes! I don't want that!

Sit up front, wear low cut sweaters & perfume, and tell him how fantastically sexy his smarts are...I swear it will work.
Don't forget to tell him how accomplished he must be to be such a young professor.

Obviously this answer is for people who google and come across this question, as it's been nearly a decade since this was published. First, be realistic about if you have a chance. Are you his type? Are you attractive, an A student, etc. Second, wait till your class with him is over. Third, during the last few days of class, like right before finals, think of something that you ARE actually interested in, and make sure it relates to the class material, and ask him if you can email him to have coffee and talk about this topic in more detail. If he says yes and you find yourself across from him at a coffee shop, that's your chance to seduce him. If you can't do it, then you're too naive, or you're not his type. Best of luck.

Infatuating with your professor is not unethical, is just that because we met them everyday maybe you just might been developed a feelings. One thing you have to consider is that, is he already married? if not then it's ok. You don't know, time comes that your path will cross..Also, if you have time, just told him that you like him and show some respect.

it is possible. You need to realize that what you are feeling is not really 'love' but only a psychological projection, similar to falling in love with a celebrity. Then, of course, concentrate on how negative this crush is to you (you can't focus on your life).

Don't do anything ... at least not while you are still in his class! Seriously, he might get in trouble if he actually dated a student. Plus, that would be a major conflict of interest if you two actually did hook up and you were in his class.
You might actually be making him extremely uncomfortable by coming on to him when all he is trying to do is be a good teacher. Wait until the semester is over and you are no longer taking his class, then if you see him on campus you can try and chat him up and see how he responds and take it from there.
For right now I'd say he's off limits.

You're asking for trouble. He could lose his job if you 2 got involved. Because he is your immediate professor and you attend the same school, jealousy and all kinds of garbage will come out. Say you 2 hook up. You feel 1 way, he feels another. You see him talking to another girl...just think about it. He may also feel pressured to give you passing grades instead of you scholastically earning them, if you get my drift. Other students will fell that if they see you getting these grades, exactly how did you get the? Your honesty and good name may be called into question. No girl, stay away from him and find a someone else.

I think by now he knows you're interested in him. If he doesn't respond on his own he's prob. not interested. Isn't there a rule against students dating profs.? Sorry. It's generally a bad idea to get involved with profs. though.

Okay, you are in college, so you must have SOME brains, right? First of all, you KNOW what a "crush" is and that is obviously what you have on your professor, and that's perfectly normal and not uncommon. To think that this is "love", however, is a serious crossing of the boundary between rational thinking (as in, common sense) and instead indicates a move into the realm of FANTASIZING WITH A VENGEANCE. Love is not something you "have" by yourself for someone who doesn't even know you other than as a student in his class; rather, love is a MUTUAL EMOTION experienced BY AND BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE after they have been on personally/emotionally (and not even necessarily sexually) intimate terms for a long time and have developed a deep and sincere bond of caring and trust with and for each other. Love isn't even POSSIBLE until you can differentiate between fantasy crushes that come easily and real love, which has to be learned and earned!

He's your Prof and he knew your name? Wow. That never happens. Honey, you have a crush. It's okay to be a bit flirty but it's bad news. Move on.
