I agree, whole heartedlyI 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.
Lose your train of thought
Lose all ability to think
Convince yourself they'd never be attracted to you
- All those tree. ... and possibly blush, depending on what the situation is.

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.![]()
Although... if he gets the reference... and is flattered by it... Ding, ding, ding!!!
You go, girl!![]()
What's attractive? Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder.![]()
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.
