I am a teacher. I am 35. And I want to tell all you young girls that

YES we do get crushes on students and even fall in love with them. YES we do talk to other male teachers about what girls we find attractive. YES we do find it incredibly hot thinking our female students may be attracted to us. YES we do fantasize about teacher-student love. YES we sometimes fantasize about marrying our students - even if we are already married. YES we do find little excuses to come talk to you. YES we find reasons to pat your shoulder, hug you, put our hands on your back, etc. YES if we like you we look at you more in class and call on you more. YES little compliments like “You’re such a good student” actually mean “I’m romantically interested in you.” YES if we ever offer to pick you up, drive you somewhere, ask you stay after class, be with you alone, it means we like you. YES we are attracted by toe intelligence. YES we do give better grades to the girls we like. YES we know all this fucks with your head but we do it anyway because we have no other way to reach out. YES we think about you while we masturbate - all the time. YES we have mentally played out the scenario of what it would be like to have you many, many times. YES most of us would be willing to cheat on our wives with you. YES we want to make love to you badly, mentor you, teach you the way of a man with a woman.

NO, most of us will never say anything or do anything about this because of the danger it involves.

YES, you must do something about it and take the initiative if you want anything to happen.

NO we will not be offended or weirded out or scared. We will be incredibly honored and humbled.

“Smile!”
