Prof crush

So I have a huge crush on my prof, which is totally wrong I know. I am doing my second bachelors after my masters, and I have had this issue my whole academic career. I consider myself to be sapiosexual. Meaning I am only interested in men that are intelligent, regardless of objective physical attraction (no, I likely would not date Chris Hemsworth if he was into me and yes I would date someone that is 300lbs overweight). So throughout my academic career I have really struggled with not falling in lust with my profs. This prof however has been particularly difficult. He is around my age from what I can tell and always matches his undershirts to his socks. Theres a lot more but I do not want to divulge my/his private info.

I had to miss a class because of COVID related things this past week and I emailed him for follow up and he offered that I just come to his office hours so he can catch me up (its a very niche class in a complicated subject, he was not being creepy). Despite this, my heart has been pounding and I have been grinning and giggling all day even though I know it means absolutely nothing and acting this way is absolutely wrong. I also know that I do not know him as a person and I would never make a move on him so to speak. I am just wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar and if so what did you do to "get over it" I cant just... skip class.
