I love being around my professor, and not just to get him in bed. I actually
have too much respect for both of us to even think about going in that
direction. I just really love being around him for his personality and his
mind. Is that so wrong? It really stands out because I am female and he is
male, and we are close in age.
confession n. A written or oral statement acknowledging guilt, made by one who has been accused or charged with an offense.

It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

It's kind of like being in someone's head while they're praying or thinking about things they'd never say outloud.

I don’t think it’s wrong at all. I feel the same way about three or four of my professors. Most of them are women, so it doesn’t seem so strange, but one IS a male. People say things sometimes, but they should know there is nothing going on except for a mutual respect and (dare I say) friendship. Ignore what others may say or think, because it doesn’t matter at the end of the day.

Don’t worry. I feel the same exact way about one of my professors. None of my friends can understand why I am around him so often or why I visit him in his office hours all the time. Granted, it can be misconstrued because he is a very attractive man, and I’ll admit, it was a reason why I liked being around him in the first place. But after spending a lot of time with him and seriously getting to know him, I know I truly just enjoy his company. I like being around him the same way I like being around one of my regular friends, to the point where I can say I “hang out” with my professor. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. You got to know him the same way you would get to know anyone else. Like the poster said above me, I’m going to give you advice in a more blatant way: “Don’t give a sh!t what anyone else thinks. As long as you know what the deal is, nothing else should matter.”

i agree with the other posters… i have a professor that i’m friends with as well…i call him by his first name and everyone thinks that’s strange. he’s a great guy, and attractive, but i just love being his friend and i have the utmost respect for him. i think teachers like that are needed to help you get through the days sometimes, so don’t worry about what other people think about it.
