This actually makes a lot of sense. "Only show attraction to girls outside of school/work, so that they are aware that you compartmentalize your life in such a way that they will not have to deal with the topic of romance with you at school/work if they are not inclined to do so." This is why at a school dance it's okay to go and rub your crotch on the butt of a girl you treat completely non-sexually during the day.
EDIT: And now the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace makes a lot more sense.
That's fine, I understand that you probably have better things to do. Thank you for the advice/discussion, and good luck in your future endeavors. :)
That's pretty much what I do instinctively, except that the compartments are more gerrymandered than that (and they're not much clearer to my System 2 than (say) grammatical rules), and they depend on who the woman is (and, to a lesser extent, on what we're talking about) but not much on where we are (e.g., with some people I'll do the hover hand thing in pictures, with others I'm perfectly comfortable putting a hand on their thigh during class).
(This might be part of a same pattern as Feynman's observation that it's common for European physicists to talk about their work in bars but rare for American physicists.)
