No matter how much you are interested in a person, staring at him or her directly is not a good idea because this will reveal all your emotions. But you can watch over the apple of your eye by looking from the side of your eye. In this way, you can still see how charming or lovely the person is without him/her noticing that you are staring.

Be civil with them

If you are put into a situation where you have no choice but to attend an occasion and the person you are trying to avoid is also coming, just act civil in front of them. Act as if it was your first time to meet them, be polite but stiff. Don���t call them with their first names; address them with their last names or ���you���. Act as if you do not care about their presence which will make the person feel confused, think you are cool and feel curious about you.

Limit your conversation

For example, when the person says ���Hi, how are you?��� just answer ���Hello��� and then move away. Pretend you did not hear and do not reply most of the time; this will make the person think he/she may have done something wrong and try to approach you even more. Triggering any of their emotions will definitely catch their attention.

Avoid talking to them directly

If you and the person are employees in the same company or have lots of mutual friends, it is really hard to just ignore and not talk to the person because you are bonded by social responsibilities. But you can still convey messages to the person without directly talking to him or her, like sending messages through your friends or coworkers. For example, if you need to conceptualize the company���s next project, instead of asking for his/her opinions directly, ask the whole team. Or if you want to go sight-seeing and know that your crush wants that too, you can tell your plan to some mutual friends and ask them to call for some friends to do this together. Bingo, you get a chance to spend some time with that special person without getting in contact and revealing your true feeling.
