If you feel this way, then stop showing attraction, affection. Look great but non-committal. He'll want what he can't have. Read DR. Everything you must do will be counter-intuitive to what you think you should do. have.

OVERdoing it (as you describe)? Very confusing to s. False hope, mixed signals, disappointment.

Look fabulously gorgeous. Do your own thing. Walk in with him then go mingle and have a blast! He'll be watching. my $.02, fwiw.

I'll stand back now and let wiser men - and the ladies - give ya some really good advice
