No, no, a thousand times no.
LOTS of people get crushes on their teachers. Who wouldn't love someone whose job is to focus on you, your best interests, your development --- and who doesn't bring demands of their own (other than classwork) to the table? Plus he is the expert and on top of that he might be hot. But if you say anything to him you will be making a huge mistake, and you will lose a valuable relationship with a respected teacher.
Be grateful you have a good teacher you can admire, and enjoy the student-teacher relationship for what it is, rather than complicate it. Crush all you want in the privacy of your own thoughts, but that's as far as it should go.
I think probably most everyone's been there, so it's really normal and understandable, but now is the time for you to handle yourself with sheer class.

Are you in high school or college? How old are you, how old is he, what is he teaching? In most situations, I'd say no, try to hold off and forget about him. Teacher/student relationships are generally not appropriate. But in adult education it's a bit less so; I'd still think it's better to wait until after the course is over but you'd probably have more of a chance for it to work... an adult taking an evening class is more of an equal in life in general than a still rather young student who's still studying full time.

Heavens, no! A romantic relationship between a teacher and a student can be damaging to both parties, but especially the teacher because he is in the position of power and therefore should take extra measures to follow ethical considerations. Pursuing a relationship with you would be unethical and could get him in a lot of trouble. If you care about this person you will leave him alone romantically until there is no longer a situation between you where he could affect your grades, etc.

In the absence of any information, except that your "instructor" is male, I would say. . . no.
If he doesn't love you back, it will confuse him, because he has to give you an objective grade. How is he going to do that to someone who professes to love him?
If he does love you or like you, and if you're not jail bait, he might ask you out.
My experience tells me that males who are inclined to ask a woman out will ask her out, sooner or later, even if they risk getting torn into little pieces by rabid bears.

The power in that relationship is way too off balance, for it to be a successful one.

No. It's actually against most school policies and could cause him to lose his job.

No, you definitely should not. This is probably infatuation, but it doesn't matter because that is illegal. I don't know your age, but I think you'd regret it later on if you did.

Sounds more like a crush. Keep it to yourself and move on.
