Teacher Crush Community Quotes

You definitely can! You can also post submissions as well!

"I actually graduated high school three years ago but for the last year or two, I had the biggest crush on my science teacher. I remember spending an hour after school every Tuesday killing time in his classroom before we both went off to our respective extracurriculars (he offered his classroom one afternoon and who was I to refuse?). Plus, that was actually his first job out of uni so he wasn't that much older. It was kind of inevitable that would develop a crush. Obviously I didn't act on the feelings because I assumed he didn't feel the same way and I wasn't about to start unnecessary drama over what I assumed was a dumb crush I'd get over as soon as I left school.

Anyway, during my last year in high school, he told our class that he had recently gotten a job at this really big university. I don't want to give too many details but it's quite a popular university and so obviously a lot of the students would be going there. Including, surprise surprise, me. 

Fast forward, I'm now in my third year of uni and we've run into each other more than a couple of times. The first time, he invited all of the students from our old physics class that attended the university out to lunch. Anyway, we're not part of the same faculty but I had to do a physics course in my first year and so I ran into him a lot and while we were really friendly, nothing really happened. Then, last year, we ended up getting an impromptu lunch together and things kind of spiraled. We started going out for lunch every few weeks and sometimes I'd just pop by his office or he'd conveniently run into me as I left my lectures. Anyway, long story short, we became really good friends. 

Then, right as the pandemic hit, we finally went out on a date (it went really well) and we've been speaking constantly over the phone now that we're stuck in lockdown. Everything's great, I guess, except we've kind of just been ignoring the fact that he was my teacher. Luckily, neither of us really kept in touch with anyone we knew from my high school but people are going to find out eventually and I'm kind of worried how it might affect him. I'm sure people are going to speculate that we were together all those years ago but he's just been ignoring the possible fallout. 

What's mind-boggling to me, I'll be 24 this year. I'm getting as old as some of the younger teachers.

I know during this time it can be frustrating. Hopefully you're able to see him soon! As for wanting something to happen, I would definitely wait until you're graduating high school

"It’s shocking, really, to see how far this blog has come. Having 1,500+ followers makes me feel like I have such a great responsibility in this community. It’s such a wonderful community to be apart of. Because of you my blog continues to run. All of you seem to be interested in what I have to say and so many people keep coming back to me to seek advice. I really appreciate that!

With that being said, I would like to share with all of you how I ended up creating this blog (I’ve also had a few requests as well). I’ve had it for a a few years now, as some of you may or may not know. So it’s now time to share!

I was 13 when I developed my first teacher crush. I felt very lost, alone. I didn’t think others could feel the same as I do. Anyways I decided to do some research on the matter. I typed into Google, “I have a crush on my teacher.” Those mere seven words eventually made this blog. So after some research, I realized this was completely normal; I actually read several stories about people going through the same thing as myself. These stories were on a website called Experience Project. 

(for those who may not know, Experience Project is like a Tumblr in a way)

I had that blog for about a year. During that year, I came in contact with a girl who was going through the exact same thing as myself. We ended up becoming best friends and both feeling relieved we can discuss the struggles of having a teacher crush. (Sadly, we both parted ways as she doesn’t attempt to keep in contact with me anymore).

She suggested that I create a blog on Tumblr and become apart of the TCC.

ME: “What’s the TCC?”

HER: “The Teacher Crush Community”

I was 14 at the time I joined this community. 5 years ago when I joined, there wasn’t even 100 members in the TCC. Everyone was welcome of my presence and I knew almost everyone in the community itself at the time. 

A year passed and at age 15, I seen this community lacked unity. Also, at the time, there was feuds within the community and people threatening to expose the community for something that it completely wasn’t.

 I wanted to create another blog for the sake of TCers having a place to be kind to each other. I expected to write many quotes relating to the TC Community (hence tccquotes). I never expected it mainly revolving around giving people advice. Now it continues to run, to this day, because of people like you taking interest in what I have to say.

To this day, I still think about the “elders” in this community. People considered me an elder when I had this blog only for 2 years, and now it’s been running for 5 years!"

I totally understand that completely. A lot of people come to my blog for advice about their TCS.

Which is why I try to be realistic. I also try to encourage members to pursue it if it's appropriate at the appropriate time.

I feel like it just depends on you as a person.

It was mostly maturity for myself. Staying on the topic of teacher crushes however..

I, personally, couldn't relate to peers my age. Their maturity didn't match mine. That, and students spend so much time with their teachers; which can be on a personal level. Teachers should be someone you can confide in. All of that mixed together can develop infatuation.

Teacher crushes are more common than some may think

That's so sweet, thank you!!!

When I made this blog, I didn't expect so many people would reach out to me for advice. I expected it to be more of me making teacher crush related quotes.

That's also why I kept my blog active all these years. Even when I wasn't active for months at a time, the TCC could still visit my blog to find relatable content!
