Alright...
There's this teacher, 30-something that I have a crush on. I'm overweight but have recently lost a lot of weight, I'm respected in our school, he's very popular with the students, he's incredibly handsome, he's one of the best teachers to have ever walked our halls.Right.. Anyway, in the beginning of the year, he told me he'd lend me a book and then we both sort of forgot about it. I asked him about it once and he wrote it down but then turned to me and said, "I'll forget, even though I've written it down, I know I'm not going to remember. It's not that good anyway..." I actually wanted the book so I got a copy on my own but does this mean that he doesn't care enough to remember? I mean, I figure there are some other students he wouldn't have forgotten the book for. Other facts:
- He's not married.
- He went to an Ivy League School.
- He does his job because he loves it.
- He seems to get along better with guys than he does with girls.
- I'm a good student

Please do not take this personally, really. Some people are just plain busy, I forget things all the time, not on purpose it is just that something else comes up. Congratulations on the weight lose. Good for you. Why are you so concerned about this Teacher? He is just a human being like you and me. Focus your thoughts and energies on other things. Believe me he probably is focused on other things and so should you.

While I'm sure he does care about you as a student, he almost certainly doesn't care about you in the way that you have a crush on him. If he did and acted on it, he'd likely end up in jail. Also most male teachers get along better with guys than with girls, and it almost never means they're gay or that they don't like the students who are girls. It just means that being guys they know how to relate better to guys.
Chances are your teacher is just forgetful or disorganized. Going to an Ivy League college doesn't necessarily mean one isn't forgetful. If you wanted the book, you should have been more assertive and reminded him of it (repeatedly, if necessary).

OK so I am just going to be completely honest with this answer...
First of all what the hell does losing weight have to do with anything? Why bring it up? As well as being "respected" at school...
Second congrats on the weight loss its good you did that (and you obviously wanted/needed to hear that)
And lastly hes your teacher, get over your crush on him. Perhaps he realized you were obsessing over him and it made him uncomfortable, and that's why he didn't bring you the book.
Hate to burst your bubble but someone needs to
The way you describe him and the way you list the facts that lead to the thoughts that you two might have something going on is unhealthy, so get over him and act like a normal student would to a teacher and maybe he will remember your book next time.
BTW.. hes probably gay...

He's a teacher - so this means that: he is not allowed to get on too friendly terms with you; he is incredibly busy with hundreds of students and things to remember; he has a life outside of school which you know nothing about; he, like everyone else in the world, probably doesn't have time for those whose obsession in life is whether someone has offended them or not. Sorry - but you've got to move on!

I agree with Brainiac...snap out of it girl. You are a mere student who has a whole life ahead of you. Crushes are normal and there is nothing wrong with that. But, teachers have a code that they must follow by not getting involved intimately with their students. Not only is it a bad idea, but in most states its against the law. What you are asking is immoral, unethical and likely illegal. This man is a grown adult, and you are still in your teens. Think of the age difference...you cannot get into the same clubs as him, cannot go into bars, etc. Find someone your own age.

Snap out of it - he's your teacher, not your boyfriend. Congrats on the weight loss.
