Is my teacher in love with me? He always talks with me when he sees me; chased me in the corridor only to say I would probably get an A on the next test. He says that there is strength in my name. He looks at me a lot. Says that I am one of the few pupils he really likes to talk with and that I teach him a lot.

In an oral exam he asked every other pupil if he or she likes football to make them less nervous. To me he asked if I could wake him up, because he had had a lot of pupils to exam.

Dear Dr. Love,

I am having a strange type of problem. I feel very shy to talk to girls.

I want to have friendships with girls but I feel shyness and don't know how to talk to them for the first time, how to approach them, and like I think that if the girl will give a bad response my ego will get hurt and it is very dear to me (my ego).

This is the reason that I like 2 or 3 girls but I am not able to approach even a single one in last 2, 3 years. I just see them and feel frustrated.

I was recently involved with a guy that I met online for about six weeks. We were in phone contact probably about twice a week and went on four dates. We became intimate on our third date, after 5 weeks. It was great. He asked me out again, for Saturday night before Christmas eve.

On the fourth date, I brought up the question of exclusivity. He did not call again for about two weeks. Then, he sent me an email saying that I was too mistrusting and he couldn't be with me.

Hi

I am in High school (12th grade-17 years old).

I like this one girl who lives 12 hours drive away from me. I've known her for 4 years and I've gone out with her for two months when I use to live near her. I have liked her for the past 3 years and still do. I am not even sure if she likes me more than a friend.

The thing is everything between her and me is a MEANT TO BE forever type. I am on excellent terms with her parents and she is the same with mine. We see each other usually every 6 months for about a week (summer is 3 weeks).
