To me it’s creepy as he knows her to be 17 and not 24. He knows she’s a “minor” in this instance. I could be being obtuse on this to be fair.

I said creepy and weird because I think you can train your brain to buffer arousal. The "a lot of sexual chemistry" implies he's lingering in fantasy over his high school student. Even in college settings, I think that's creepy and weird.

I always had crushes on my teachers and any figure of authority. Normal for youth. The best mentors though understand human power and sexuality, and they don't abuse it. Safe, non-eroticized spaces to focus on work and academia (esp for minors) is a golden standard.
