Welcome to Psych Central, new guy245.

How old is the student? If he's getting married, I can't imagine he's much older than you, or maybe even older. I assume you are male, ... there's been no mention that he's gay/bi, so... are you sure you've read him right in that regard? Although it does strike me as unusual for a straight person to shower a man, his tutor no less, with compliments like that, unless he just really respects you and cares what you think of him.

I definitely think you need to talk about this, because it's causing a problem, and the last thing you want is to damage your professional reputation over a crush. Could you speak to a professional about this? Could you take some time off, to get him out of your mind? I would also keep him at a distance; what he's doing is just as inappropriate as what you're doing; you're both adults, but it's a purely professional setting.

I still think seeing a professional could help, in-case this happens again in the future.

Best of luck.
