Is it normal to have a crush on your professor?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal to develop a crush on a professor. The feeling itself is harmless; acting on it can get complicated because of the power imbalance and professional boundaries.

Professors can be impressive, encouraging, and deeply engaged with things you care about—all qualities that can spark a crush. Lots of people get attracted to someone they admire or spend time around, even when the situation isn’t a good fit for a relationship.

You don’t have to panic or shame yourself for the feeling. Just keep things professional, especially while they’re teaching or grading you, and don’t assume friendliness means romantic interest. If the crush is distracting, a little distance or focusing your attention elsewhere can help it fade.
