Oh Lordy, this is a pickle

I have an old friend with whom I have been reacquainted in an educational environment. That's right, he's my teacher. We're of the same age and I am very much aware that it is against the rules for us to become involved if he is grading my work.

During our sessions, the eye contact is overhwleming. He clearly looks to me to see if his performance is impressing me, or he's making me laugh. It's odd. I mean I'm crazy about him; he's intense, sensitive, interesting, professional, spiritual, and funny. I want him so much it's driving me crazy, and I think he may want me too. Other students have noticed it between us.

It's a hard one. I don't know what to do.

Will I know for sure if he wants me, will he come to me, or am I the one who needs to get this conversation started as to how we could get something started...?

Basically, how can this progress? (I am able to drop his class should anything develop, but I think we need to have a conversation first...as I am genuinely interested in the subject he teaches.)

What might happen to his attitude towards me if he rejects me? How might he handle my confrontation about my feelings for him?

Oh plop.

In this case, given that you have to make a decision about the class.. I'd meet him for coffee or something and be brutally honest. Scorpio isn't going to lie to you, they don't mince words, if he's really NOT interested he's going to tell you. Course if he IS interested he might be more vague. After the talk it will be incredibly obvious. He'll either forget you exist (except entirely professionally, very brief and clipped conversations entirely about class) OR he'll persue you with all of that intensity. And you'll know whether or not to drop that class 😉

That is so hot. I'd have the forbidden love and still stay in the class. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. Rawr ;3
