How can i tell for sure if a Virgo man likes me??

It definitely sounds like he likes you! I just think hes cautious because of his position.

I think there is some possible attraction on his part. The "looks", the communication, and the making jokes all are typical of a guy who is attracted to a woman OR wants her to believe he is attracted to her.

With that premise, here's my advice based on personal experience similar to yours.

DO NOT get involved with this guy while you are in his class. Even if your ages are close. There are so many problems that can arise from getting romantically/physically/emotionally hooked on a teacher. He is there to do HIS job. You are there to learn the subject matter. Period. MOST young lady's in this situation will eventually get hurt. Why? do you think that this guy has not done the same to another young lady as yourself? Sure, we'd all like to think we are special. But men love younger women, period. What you view as a "connection", he sees as potential to get more involved; maybe more than you are prepared for at this time in your life.

I know about teacher/pupil attraction...been there, done that. Fortunately, I walked away from the temptations and the dangerous path it could have potentially taken me down.
If I were you, I'd wait and find that special guy who isn't your teacher. This man has the "power" role as your teacher, and is the elder. He realizes you have a crush on him. That is why he is open to communication, checking you out, and trying to make you laugh. Your attention is his drug. However, that doesn't mean he is deeply attracted to you in the sense that he respects you and wants to seriously date you. He might be a good guy and if so, that's great. But if you're smart, you'll wait until you get through his class, get a good grade, and see if that attraction is really legit or just a passing phase.

Just something to think about.

Perhaps, but MOST young ladies in this situation end up getting burned, get hurt, and go through emotional trauma that could gut their confidence and self worth. I've seen it happen many times. I've been there, done that. I'm 47, you're 23. Not putting down your age...i'd love to be 23 again. And I do think you share some good insight for someone so young. With that said, I've lived a lot more life than you and seen a lot more relationships develop/mature or break down.

What this teacher is doing to the OP is nothing new. It's the same song, 1 zillionth verse. It's called a "MO"....MEN love younger women. It's not rocket science. Well actually it is science, and that's why i can back it up.

The key here is simple. HE's HER TEACHER....NOT HER BF. There are so many negative repercussions that could occur, and most likely would. The reason why these relationship rarely work is because of the nature of the situation. He doesn't want to lose his career, so he will play this out to the point of possibly getting her to give him what he desires. She is infatuated with him because he is her teacher and he's got the power position on her. If I had a dollar for every male teacher I crushed on in grade school and HS......It happens. It's been happening since the dawn of time.

Do you really think this man is in love with this young lady? Seriously? he's playing her. Even the other students see this, how can you not? Men who are serious about dating a young lady don't let everyone in on his secret. Especially Virgo's.....They analyze to death and make moves very strategically. What this guy is doing is hardly that. It's open, it's flirty, it's obvious....He's having fun and as I said before, he's addicted to the attention. Period.

I wish the OP all the best with whomever she dates and thinks is "the guy"...and this dude may be him in the long run. But as of now, she would be in a much better place to finish her studies and move on. After which, if this man wants to date her exclusively and not play anymore teeny bopper games, then that's a much better path for her to chose. But again, I'm just a 47 year old happily married women to a wonderful husband for 14 years. I don't much about relationships. 😉

I won't share all my experiences on here. but i will tell you one teacher was a virgo, and sounds similar to yours. the difference being, mine didn't flirt openly as yours seems to be doing. i found my virgo teacher giving me compliments that were often subtle. i can recall ONE time he joked with me. but that was it. we smiled a lot, but i never took it personally. I was a happy kid and loved HS. It was when i noted how he was treating me different from my peers. THAT is when i finally figured out what he was doing. And something happened a few years after I graduated HS that confirmed it for me. I truly believe we had a special connection....but again, this took place over a period of 4 years getting to know each other in the teacher - student relationship. He was also my coach, so he got to know my work ethic, my passion for sports, my competitiveness, and my integrity. I believe all those things contributed to his ability to identify with me on a deeper level than my peers. I don't know how long you've had your rapport with your teacher. So in that sense, I can't make an apple to apple comparison.

As you, I thought this guy was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I guess in my favor, he was a married man with a child. So in that sense, I knew it was just a passing phase.
With your case, I'm assuming he's single. So that is a much better scenario for you. Again, i'm not saying you shouldn't date him in the near future if you wish. I'm only trying to give you some perspective from my personal experience. If he's worth all that in your heart and mind, then he's worth waiting for until AFTER you complete his class or graduate imho.

In the end, you're going to do what you want to anyway. So best of luck to you whomever you may pursue.
