I have a friend and she basically has a huge crush on this professor. Me and that professor texted eachother on this philosophical thingy and Indian mythology. It was pretty long. And i showed that text to her. She goes like why did u text him when u know that I have a crush on him.
And another situation: that professor was teaching something and he goes like "Did u guys understand?" My friend goes like No(with her head ) and i explained her in the class. Later she goes like why did u explain me that. U should have let him to explain that. That would give me a chance to speak with me.

I'm a bad friend for that???.

No you're not. Professors are here to help you out if you genuinely need help, not to entertain a student's crush. You had a sincere question and you asked him, which he answered. That is a very normal thing. Your friend is going through a phase which is natural but I would say that as her friend you should advise her to not make any actual moves. It is highly inappropriate and could also be risky for that Professor's career if any rumors accidentally start. It's normal to have a crush on a teacher but it's immaturity to hope for anything to happen. Advise your friend to just crush on him from afar. It's a phase and hopefully she'll get out of it soon. You didn't do anything wrong tho
