Gals should were a funny hat or arm band or necklace or something that let's us know that their taken or not interested. It would solve a lot of messes before they start. Like a wedding ring, but big enough that it can be seen across a crowded mall.
And I don't know how you do it, but I can't stand plotamia with a gal I'm attracted to/have a crush on. It's romance or nothing. Which causes me to lead the life of a lone ranger, but it gives me time to wretch the barbed, rusty knife from me and stich the wound.
There is one thing that I tryed last November with a gal I met through school. It's so simple, I don't know why a buddy of mine and I were up 'til 5am planning it. Ideally, it leads to happiness. Realisticly, it just lets her know how I feel and set up a lose, lose situation that I can live with. If I had her number, I'd have called. So I sent an email stating that I wanted to be her boyfriend. I still have her reply.
