Consider this
Love is a choice, not a feeling. It is a choice to be truly other center-ed, and care more about your bf than yourself.
Evolution puts us here, and gives us feelings as part of the unique human mating strategy. It is a see a need fill a need thing, thats why attraction happens bewteen aquainted people at school, cause that is where a lot of time is spent. I think that is why it happens at work or just infidelity in general.
If more time is spent around another attractive male, then..........
You like him because females in general like older males with resources. Evolutionary thing that means survival for cavewomen........lol.
It is ok, but feelings are still intense.
You need to think this out. Try taking a philosophy course. I don't think this thing happens between students and tutors/professors in the philosophy department. The point is that someone mentioned that it wouldn't happen outside the graduate school setting. Maybe consider that.
Also, they said he might not like you, but if he should in a similar way, he would hold off cause of his age and just ethics. He didn't try to sweep you off your feet probably.
Maybe try this, tell him kinda what you told us. If there is time after, ask him if you can confide in him something kinda personal and ask for his advice. He should say yes, then tell him you kinda have a crush on him and saw his single status on facebook.
Tell him that you have a boyfriend, and are happy where you are at, but are torn by having feelings for two people. Tell him sorry, and you still don't mind being his student, but you are not sure and you haven't told anyone. Ask him what should you do to keep y'alls relationship strictly professional.
I don't think this would humiliate you. But would be intense. I think he would back off the friendly stuff. He might tell you he is dating someone else. I think after you do that, your crush will be resolved as much as can be. He might insist a transfer, but most likely will be ok about it. It might have happened to him before. He might use the classic teacher-student ethics as an excuse.
