Girl:I hate the fact that you are taller than me Boy:trust me there is an advantage in it Gal:what? Boy:When I hug you, you can listen to my heart which beats only for you
So my teacher has had a hard time finding the right guy for a really long time and the guys in my class take it upon themselves to unashamedly flirt/compliment her so she feels like she's worth something. May sound creepy to you but I think its a good gesture that secretly makes her happy and thats wonderful.
