<human>: Hi, maybe that title sounds weird. What I mean is that when I find someone physically or emotionally attractive, it instantly affects how I communicate with them, and often in a way that hinders close connection.  

It's hard to describe other than I feel like I am flirting without meaning to, without trying to, and without wanting to.  It hinders my ability to be friends with people, mostly women.  

I can't get past that feeling of attraction, and I thus can't pick up/perceive any other feelings that I used to be able to in interaction.  I don't know what happened but its really put a damper on my communication and friendships.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: I tend to talk to people that I am attracted to like I want to date them, even when they're already romantically involved.  I can't get past the feeling of attraction so that I can be present with the conversation.
