Harder to hide your attraction?

Post Reply New Topic

Since I hyper-focus, when I find that I'm attracted to someone it's very difficult for me to hide it. I'll tell myself, "okay, don't look at that person," which of course leads me to look right at them without even thinking about it. Then, even if it was just a darting glance that I stopped myself from continuing, I became very worried that the person saw me look at them and may have put two and two together. I worry that the way I looked at them is subconsciously different from the way I look at other people. If I have to say something to that person, I try too hard to prep myself to sound "normal" that I feel like I sound like a fool.

I'm exactly the same way and I hate it. I blush too and that makes it worse and I can't control it.
Also, I'm sure it's obvious to them and it's not even because I know a guy well or rarely that I"m even interested, it's merely an attraction. I really wish I could change that about myself. It's embarrassing as hell.

it's too easy for me to hide it

I blush too easily and get really clumsy when someone I like is near, I can't relax. I'll keep looking at them and I'm sure it's obvious but when I look away I can't feel natural either. It's really annoying.

I do this often too. Was much worse during my younger days but can still be bad now!

Oh god, you have no idea how difficult it is for me to actually hide my attraction to someone, it just literally shows, because I would be the same way like iHateCamera, being clumsy and I really blush easily.

yeah, me too. i am overly giggly and i stare and act all crazy.

or i blurt it out. that makes it kind of a giveaway.

Haha, I'm normally clumsy anyway but when I look at someone I like I run into stuff or drop things. And I usually smirk when I talk to or about him or her, which my friend in college pointed out to me. Sometimes I can relax and other times I can't; I'll get all tense and flustered a lot of the time. Classic blunders from crappy romantic comedies.

I don't know if I do or not... only fallen for one person, and I *THINK* I hide it well enough... but I noticed that I avoided looking at him for the most part (partly because embarrassed, partly because I don't find him attractive, so easier when not seeing... specially after he removed his beard... but lately been seeing him as more and more attractive... kinda like I accepted that he wasn't, but now he slowly is becoming so...)

I know I was driving two days ago w/ him, and was so nervous as hell that I almost went through a red light... T_________T... not a good experience for him w/ me driving for first time... T_______T... trying not to think about THAT so much...

but I also don't know if I do want to hide it or not... I sort of want him to know, but I'm too chickenshit to tell him... or more honestly, I want it to be reciprocated, and I can't tell if he likes me or not... ;_; I'm leaning towards no as time goes on, so half of me doesn't want him to find out so at least we can remain good friends, but half of me wants him to find out and do something about it...

Of course, he could notice, and trying to ignore it as well >"< know I did that when a friend fell for me....

Dunno.... I don't really understand how well others pick things out like that... I know AS people are less likely to notice emotions and stuff like that, but I don't know how much better non-ASpies are... like are they able to see everything? Or only a degree or two better than me? Am I noticable or not? I dunno .____.

least I know I don't blush! I do stumble and stuff though... but thats sorta normal :X

I'm not very good at hiding my attraction if I like someone.

As a woman, it's kind of not the done thing. Societal convention dictates that the men are supposed to make romantic advances, and then the women are supposed to play a bit hard to get or something, there's supposed to be some kind of courtship ritual whereby the woman isn't supposed to reciprocate attentions to soon. But if I like someone, I tend to just blurt it out. Lots of guys like 'the chase' they don't like women who are too 'easy' to catch.

On the contrary, I hide it so well every person I've crushed on thought I hated them.
