Do you avoid people you find attractive?

[Anonymous]

A coworker, a customer, an acquaintance, etc... it doesn't matter. I've had a particular issue for awhile where (normally at work) I'll try to avoid looking at, walking near, being near anyone I find suits my fancy. I'm sure there's some sort of self sabotage mind trickery going on, but do any of you also avoid being near (or looking at) people that you think are out of your league?

I want to mention that this feeling usually disappears if I find out they're not single, or have a lousy personality. They'll be taken off the pedestal in my mind, and I'll be able to treat them more like any other human, as they likely deserved in the first place.

Yes

No

No I do not. Most are quite enjoyable and outwardly secure. Some are stand offish if they do not know you. They seem to warm-up well. I don’t get the question

Yes, I feel shy of them.

The other day the hottest guy asked me out and I rejected him out of fear that I’d be hurt again. I regret that, because we had amazing chemistry but it is okay.

I'm sorry to hear that. I think, sometimes, we can be our own bullies.

I avoid men who are attractive because I know they will never like me.
