There's something very endearing about awkwardness. x__x
It does sound like The Guy Who's Not A Professor is the sounder option, but I agree that it might not be fair to him, if he does really like you and if you're still carrying a torch for The Guy Who Is A Professor. Being transparent about things the other person might be impacted by (if/how seriously you want a relationship, if you still have persistent feelings for other people) is, I think, a possible minimizer of later troubles.
Not that I have the best track record with that. =P So much easier to talk about abstractly.
I just read your journal entry. Looks like we're on similar boats with this stupid goddamn crush thing aughhsdhalsd. I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO EYY? Screw pride, goshdarnit, and just go for it. Pride has never gotten me far, and only served to cause me many miserable nights tossing and turning in bed because I shouldn't have done something, but didn't because I didn't want to make a fool of myself. In the end, everyone blunders/is awkward/says stupid stupid STUPID things but after the second round of shots, nobody cares anymore. JUST GO UP AND STRIKE A CONVERSATION. With that starter! Then ask him about himself
( ... )
Actually your current situation sounds like a composite of my past two, since the current one is Awkward (As Am I), and the prior one was one of my professors (who was not awkward, and who was actually one of those hot popular professors, and whom I therefore loathed at first until I realized he was also smart as hell and a Tolkien fan!)
Well, if you think carrying a torch for the prof might cause hypothetical problems for a hypothetical relationship farther down the hypothetical line...might be good to mention it. At least, I think I'd probably want to know something like that (if it was as intense as it sounds from this entry), so that I could modulate my expectations and feelings to fit the situation, instead of possibly making presumptions about the other person having single-minded feelings for me or something.
