I couldn't pick more than one.

First and foremost, I convince myself they couldn't possibly be attracted to me. Then, I replay every relationship I've ever had and remind myself that I am horrible at relationships and not equipped for the emotional nor physical complications they entail. Next, I try to make myself scarce or just leave before any really awkward exchanges happen.

I agree, whole heartedly

The lead question is confusing... have you met them (introduced already) or have you just seen them?

What's attractive? Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. :cool:

But if I meet people (that I don't already know) and in my estimation they fit the rules of what most people find "attractive" I do temper my greeting a bit. I greet them as I would greet anybody else, but in a slightly more lukewarm manner. It is reasonable to expect them to be accustomed to people flirting with them because they fit the societal standards for what is attractive, so I don't want them to mistake my overt friendliness for flirting.

Speaking of that though... I don't know how many of you have read Divergent
but as part of the getting back to work thingy I did a test to see where my interests and abilities are,
the day after, I got an access card to the guym
...and was introduced to a guy named Tobias

Just as long as you don't accidentally stumble and call him "Four" (at least, not right away), you're probably all good. :D

Although... if he gets the reference... and is flattered by it... Ding, ding, ding!!!

You go, girl! :p

lol, that was pretty much what I was thinking as well.
I've only seen him a couple of times after that, I think he's there while I'm at work :(

Usually I try to figure out their personality in a conversation and if it doesn't line up with what I like then they aren't as attractive to me and I forget about them. I've avoided a lot of awkward situations just by observing and picking the right battles Lol.

keep glancing at her but you don't look long enough for her to notice because you don't want to draw attention to yourself!

...so this explains why Lynx is rather stand-offish toward me!
