What should I do when I am in love with a professor at a university that I attend?

Question

I am in love with a college professor from my University. He is 54 years old and married for 30 years. He is white and I am black. It started one day when we had to choose someone to speak to our class for career day and I got him to come in because he is a college professor, an attorney, and a judge. Upon interviewing him in his office things got kind of intimate between us. Not kissing just a profound emotional attachment. Each time I went to his office afterward he would stop who he was talking to just to talk to me. He would even peak through my classroom door at me and stare. On the day for him to come to speak to my class he stared at me most of the class while giving his lecture. The class professor noticed and mentioned to him that she teaches a class at night with his wife. His expression changed to sadness. Shortly after I placed a letter under his office door & told him I am in love with him but because of his marriage and career obligation that I would love him from afar.

Answer 1

Is it possible that you are imagining his interest in you? There is this profound quote -" You only find what you are looking for."
Maybe you really like him a lot and feel he likes you. By writing him that letter, you have put both him and yourself in a fix; you both can't interact as you were doing before. If only you had talked to him more, you could have probably gathered if he really liked you...
Staring proves nothing. Lots of guys stare- it just means you are looking nice that particular day! :)

Answer 2

Just realize what your getting into. You would be breaking up a happy home. Are you ready to deal with someone thats 54, who's life has already been established?

Answer 3

Ask him out and get busy. You might get an A if you're good.
