Teachers. How easy is it to tell of a student has a crush on another? And what interesting

moments between the two can you share?

High school teacher. Depending on the kids' personalities, they either get louder or quieter when

their crushes are present. The loud ones are freaking annoying. The quiet ones are the ones,

I would say, purposefully sit next to their crushes. Oh, God, I just realized that my 66-year-old

GOV teacher totally knows. Teenagers are not subtle by nature, but they are amazingly oblivious

when it comes to matters of the heart. They are really perceptive with other things, though.

The boys almost never recognize if a girl likes them, and the girl never realizes

that the guy is showing interest. It's funny to watch it happen. It's so blatantly obvious as an outsider,

but I remember being just as oblivious as a student. It's called crushing self-doubt. I had a girl

literally asked me out, and I slept on it and convinced myself she was just screwing with me

in an attempt to embarrass me. Oh, similar to me, there was a girl me and my friends all liked in

primary school. I said no in case they had bad intent. What if a girl was just too shy to find out

herself? Back in fifth grade, I had a crush on a girl named Jenny. She was sweet and I really

liked her, even if, you know, innocently.

Since this was fifth grade in the elementary school, I was in Boy Scouts with her brother,

and my best friend told said brother that I had a crush on his sister,

and he apparently passed it along to Jenny.

Toward the end of the school year, she hands me a folded-up note telling me not to read it

until after I got home.

I waited like five minutes and popped that sucker open, and it's basically a confession that her brother told me that I liked her,

but that he sometimes lies to her, and she just wanted me to check either yes or no.
