    Just out of interest why would you say that)....... we have no background info from the OP about the situation just a vague question really, kinda difficult to give advice when you have nothing to base it on! just my opinion offcourse!
    just my opinion... but the info given is about a teacher who teaches a child in their class, Mum has developed a crush , nothing outside the classroom has happened.
    TBH lots of teachers dread this scenario.
    Just being honest here.

    How much do you know about this person? Teachers tend to keep their private lives just that. He may well be very good at his job, have a lovely manner with the children etc. That doesn't mean you would be really well suited. Apart from the fact that you are both in close contact with your child, what do you have in common? I agree with the poster who advised that teachers dread this scenario and the really professional ones go out of their way to avoid it ever coming up.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    This person is a teacher .. his/her job is to teach the child.
    Stop with the crush just because this person shows an interest in your child does not mean they have an interest in you , it is a professional interest in the education of your child and not personal.
    This teacher is brilliant at their job .. let them do it.

    If neither of you are single, and you (OP) have a child/children - do you not think that you should put your child/children first? I do!

    What?? Why is dating the teacher 'not putting your child first'? People meet in all sorts of circumstances. They're both single, what's the problem? If kid gets embarrassed, well, so what? Having ears that stick out is enough to embarrass a kid.

    Who says it's a crush?? If it is, then it will dissipate of its own accord (unless OP is a mad stalker type). But why can't you develop an attraction for a teacher? It's not the OP's teacher! Such a lot of worrywarts posting on this thread so far!

    Why not?

    Where do you talk? At the school gates?

    So the teacher has shown an interest in a relationship with you?
