Teacher student relationship?
I'm 18 and over the past 2 years I've developed a thing for a psychology teacher at my college. I'm hoping to become a psychologist. Anyway, we used to have banter and stuff in his class like little things until I took it too far and followed him on twitter. We had a tiny argument over twitter as he had no followers and didn't want it too look weird. Saw him at college and he said he found it really funny etc. which i never understood as he seemed angry over twitter. anyway I said I'd stay away because at this point it was obvious I liked him. , he said its best I wasn't in his class because it looks like favouritism. I was hurt but accepted this was his decision and respected it. i know sometimes he tries to shrug me off when i go to his room and i understand why, but i can't help but think he feels the same but wont let it show. Lately he's looked really upset, he blanks me completely, is arsey with me and it makes me feel like ****. So I emailed him

Hey are you free tomorrow I need some help with a question + cheer up you've looked down recently.

He said
Jess I'm going to be honest I'm pretty busy tomorrow. I'm fine. Just things on my mind is all.

I said okay well it doesn't matter, and if you don't mind me saying I'm sure those things on your mind will be ok. Don't think too much. Smile.

He smiled at me the next day. But today he has been free and he's totally avoided me. Completely avoided me.

Do you think I crossed the line with what I asked? Do you think I've weirded him out? At this point I don't have a clue. But he's single, never married, no kids, and in his late 30's
He's for sure not married guys.
Fair enough but he did flirt with me completely. And even after I followed him he flirted. It's just recently. He would say flirty things in the corridor etc

Holy s##t, YES! You weirded him out. Honestly, it sounds like he was never interested. I mean, he didn't really give you any signals that he was interested. Friendly banter between student & teacher is normal, that doesn't mean he's romantically inclined toward you!

When you followed him on Twitter, he realized, "Oh crap. This 18-yr old has a thing for me, obviously. She's looking me up online. I better act distant." Can you blame him? He's your teacher and he's twice your age. Getting into something with an 18 yr old student would have ramifications for his career and reputation....big considerations.

Blanking you is the appropriate thing for him to do, because he knows you are latching on to any little "bone" of affection you perceive you're getting from him.

I cringed when I read your response to him, "Don't think too much, smile." I can only imagine his discomfort.
