Crush and Prom Help!?

So before I give details, please don't think I'm crazy, but I have a crush on one of my teachers at school. But her and I are pretty close for a student-teacher relationship. I talk to her about random stuff around once a week, and if I don't have conversation with her I at least make a point to say hi to her at some point. I know a lot about her and she knows a good amount about me. However, she is of course a teacher and she's also engaged to be married next summer. I am a Junior, and our prom at my school is in the fall, this Tuesday. As crazy as it sounds, I asked her if she would go with me, but she said she couldn't, but she said she might be there as a chaperone or just to see everyone dressed up if she was free. It turns out she's chaperoning, which means she'll be there all night. In the meantime before knowing that, I didn't ask anyone else to go with me, so I'm one of the small amount of people without a date. I'm not the only one without a date and there are girls without a date, but the girls I would have asked already have dates. I'm fine with going alone, but I want to spend some time at the prom with this teacher. I'm definitely going to talk to her and I'm probably going to take a picture with her, but I kind of wanted to ask her to dance. I'm really doubtful that this is a good idea though. Should I ask her? If not, what else can I do to have fun alone at prom? Other things? Thanks for your help!

    Honestly, it's best not to ask her to dance, or spend too much time talking to her. It puts her in an awkward position, and if you respect her, you will not do that to her. You can still dance with other girls your age at the dance, even if they have dates. Just ask them nicely - a prom date is not a lifetime commitment to someone. Hang out with friends and talk.

    Forget about it. Its illegal for a student and teacher to do that. Plus the teacher will lose her job.
