I think she was being a teacher trying to encourage you to participate in talking in class so she could evaluate you for your grade. Nothing more.
Needs repeated.
QFT.
Nah, don’t think so. Before leaving the course I told her she was a very good teacher and she told me I was a super student. I am a weirdo but she seems like an even greater weirdo 
Of course you don’t, but you’ve proven yourself pretty obtuse about figuring these things out. Trust us, you don’t have a chance. And every attempt you make to talk to her is making her uncomfortable.
I trust you. I know I do not have a chance.
Any evidence that I make her uncomfortable? I just want to be a friend. A close friend. Not any romantic relationship etc.
No, no, no, no. She doesn’t want to be your friend. She is a teacher to you and that’s it. I’m beginning to think you’re being deliberately disingenuous here. If by some slim, small chance you’re not, the answer is still a resounding NO. because here’s the thing… if you pursue a “friendship” with her, you’d never let it be at that. This thread is evidence why. You can’t let it go. You won’t listen to reason, you won’t take overwhelmingly good advice, and you wouldn’t stop ever mooning over her if you remain in close proximity. So, leave the poor woman the hell alone.
I am not being disingenuous
Why do you keep her calling “poor woman”?
Poor is, in English, used to refer to someone or something in a way that shows sympathy.
But why do you not have any sympathy for me? Maybe I am the weak guy, so you can release your daily stress by insulting me and putting me down?
I am an evil, according to you in this thread. But why?
You called me:
awkward
stalker
creepy
kind of a person who makes women uncomfortable
Do you have any evidence that if I pursue a “friendship” with her, I would never let it be at that.
I am telling you I will let it at that. Why do you not believe me?
MaverocK, you’re drowning in a sea of “no’s”, “don’t do it’s” and “leave her alone’s” while desperately searching for a “yes” to keep you afloat.
You ask a question and the board tells you not to engage her, you respond with a “But…,” and the board holds firm, you then alter the question, but the board remains the same. You’re not looking for opinions or guidance; you’re looking for validation.
So, here you go. Despite all the overwhelming evidence & opinion to the contrary, go for it, buddy. None of us understand your situation and no amount of life experience from any of the posters here will ever give any insight as to your relationship with your teacher.
Run to her, don’t walk. Hold a boombox above your head outside her window while rain pours from the sky.
And remember, that restraining order is really just her playing hard to get, that clever little minx.
Believe it or not, you’re not the first guy to try to have a friendship with a woman that he’s romantically interested in as sort of a “consolation prize” (with the secret hope that once she gets to know him, maybe those romantic feelings will follow). It’s selfish and kind of shitty: if you’re interested in someone romantically and they don’t reciprocate, the best thing for everyone is to just move on.
In this case, continuing to pursue any sort of relationship with this woman is not appropriate. Leave her alone.
Yes, this thread.
Again, this thread.
These were my thoughts as I processed the title of your thread:
‘‘Should I make my feelings clear…’’
Oh, of course. Yes. Always. Life’s too short not to be sincere about -
‘’…to my teacher?"
No.
If you feel you must, wait until the class is over and you know you will never have another class together again. And don’t be creepy about it.
Methinks that ship sailed a while ago.
I’d just like to point out that he has already been shot down. Like, twice in one minute.
That’s what I get for drive-by posting.
Yeesh. Good luck, kid.
I do not understand, brother. Why?
What is wrong with this thread?
You think in that way because in one of my previous posts I said “A tree will not fall with a single blow.” This sentence was a wit. Trying over and over of course would make her uncomfortable. I know that. I put the smiley “”" “”" at the end of the sentence “A tree will not fall with a single blow.”, like: “ :D”, so that you could know I was not serious about trying to pursue a romantic relationship with her any more.
I wanted to be her class again because I wanted to hear some compliment from a woman, not because I was going to try to pursue a romantic relationship. I rarely or never received a compliment from a person, let alone women. Therefore I thought it could be a nice self esteem boost to be in her class again.
You two, OK. Let me get this straight. I told you that I knew that I did not have a chance with her.
You all say “move on”. **I do want to move on. I do want to leave her alone. ** But I don’t know how.
I made an appointment with a psychiatrist on Saturday. He may be able to help me to forget her with some medication.
If my psychiatrist’s medication does not help, how can I move on? How can I forget her?
Calatin’s Two-Step Plan For Moving On*
Step #1: Stop revisiting a thread where you are talking about her and your feelings for her. That’s only going to keep her in your thoughts.
Step #2: Abandon all hope of having any sort of relationship with her - be it romantic, friendly, or professional. She will never be your lover or friend, and she shouldn’t ever be your teacher again. Why pick at the scab? Just let it heal.
*Note: May take time.
MaverocK, you’ve mentioned mental health enough that I presume you have some diagnosed psychological issues. It’s very likely that all the anxiety you’re feeling around this issue is more related to your psychological disorder than anything else. As someone who copes with depression and anxiety on a fairly regular basis, I’ve noticed that sometimes I get really upset and/or fixated on things that in reality are really not that big of a deal. I think it’s good you are going to see your doctor.
Because I feel sorry for her for the situation you keep putting her in.
I did have a bit of sympathy for you in the beginning because we’ve all been there. I’m not trying to insult you, but be firm enough that it’ll finally get through to you that this is a bad idea. See what being ‘nice’ to you has wrought for this poor teacher? She can’t get rid of you, when all she was trying to do is her job and do it well. And many, many people have tried to tell you this and still, you hold out the hope she’ll be your friend. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.
I don’t think you’re evil, but I do think you’re the other things. Why?
THIS THREAD. Full stop. Which is what you should do with what you’ve already done.
ETA: And yes, seeing your doctor and getting this out of your system is the absolutely right thing to do. Good on you for taking that step.
Asked and answered within the same post. You are fixated on a woman who did nothing but do her job around you. It’s an inappropriate relationship. You have an unrealistic interpretations of her actions. You cannot be trusted to be a faithful reporter of her feelings or intentions towards you.
Everyone here has said forget her and move on. You seem to want to do that. Stop asking questions about being her friend. You know it’s in no one’s best interests.
I was only diagnosed some sort of a depression. My psychiatrist also told me I was obsessive. Some other psychiatrist told me I was suffering from depression and and obsessive compulsive disorder. That is all I remember.
And you are right. It’s very likely that all the anxiety I am feeling around this issue is more related to my mental or psychological disorder than anything else.
The part in bold is very important. Do you think a mental health professional can help me? Do you also think that the problem around this issue is more related to my mental or psychological disorder than anything else?
