I really like and respect my therapist. He is 27 and still in school to finish is masters. He is very handsome, smart, and charming. At least I think so. I'm wondering what is appropriate in a professional relationship. I know he tries to build my self esteem by saying that I'm very smart and saying I look nice here and there. But he has told me that he looks forward to Mondays and to our "little sessions" together on 3 different occasions now. It seems like a very sweet gesture. Then the next session he gets serious and usually brings papers and exercises to complete that seems like he's not present. I'm aware of transference so I don't tell him how much I enjoy him, even though I really like him as a person. I don't want him to get in trouble and I would never do anything to hurt him. But is it inappropriate? We are a lot alike and he has said that several times as well. Any advice or input will help. Thank you for your time

I did post this in the ASK section but it says it could take 2 weeks for a response. Plus id like to see how other clients therapists act. Thanks again
