That is a very interesitng post. I have admired teachers and mentors very much but I never thought of it as a girl crush because they were more like surrogate parents to me. It's perfectly natural to want to be friends with someone who is attractive and talented.

I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe your feelings might appear like social awkwardness or something. I have never suspected another girl of having a crush on me except one superior at work who contsntly tried to get my attention and talked non-stop about me to other people. So if you don't do that, she probably doesn't suspect.

Just try to be a good student. Teachers like students who work hard and are willing to try whatever tasks they are given. Being a teacher is hard so making yourself an easy student might make her favor you.
