i have a former professor who's been extremely nice to me. in the past he has helped me with recommendations to grad school and such and anything else i really need. a few years have passed and he still writes to me, less than before because i don't reply much anymore. reason being is i'm not sure what he thinks of me. i feel kinda weird. he's old enough to be my father but somehow i feel that he overly
admires me. not anything too extreme to the point that you think is inappropriate or makes me know right away that he likes me more than a student-professor relationship. just stuff here and there that makes me think he really adores me (because i am a good person lol). i'm thinking of just ending the relationship and not talking to him anymore. i'm grateful for what he has done for me in the past but i just feel weird talking to him. i don't have the guts to ask him straight out what he thinks of me and even if i did he can always lie and say no (if he thinks he's making me feel uncomfortable). what do you guys think??? what should i do?
