Because hopefully new employees don't start off their first few days (weeks, whatever) mackin' on the women. They should be learning their jobs, and dating people at worked is usually frowned upon.

I used to just ignore these things because I figure it wasn't what I thought, which sometimes is true

I think everyone can admit that females use males, and that in another way males use females.
Which you think occurs more, is up to you.
I'd say it is more or less equal.

Not that i want a relationship at work, but it's just weird to me and it seems to happen frequently. I'm not conceited, i have flaws and i'm humble for the record.
They are attractive men, but i'm thinking there is some issue and that is why they can't talk to me, like maybe they're married, separated, or with GF.
If you know he's attracted then why aren't you approaching him?

98% of the time this is actually accurate. I feel if I want her nine times out of ten another guy already has her.

It doesn't matter, it's at work. I can't date anyone at work so I don't think anything of it whether they "approach" or not. I talk to random men and women at work to be friendly. As for outside of work, male gym trainers say hi to me a lot. I figure it's because I'm always there and they'd welcome another client anytime but I feel the attraction as well. I think this because women trainers never approach me. And as for randomnly on the streets, I've been approached but what do you think is going to come of it? Here's a typical conversation:

(Respectful version)
Guy: hi there, I think you're beautiful.
Me: thank you
*it usually stops there, if it continues it would go like this
Guy: can I take you out sometime?
Me: sorry, I'm only in town for a few weeks
*sadly it's true that I usually get approached when I'm about to move

(Other version)
Drunk guy on the bus: (yelling) you're beautiful!
*me running away

Maybe we just don't want to go through the time and trouble or maybe we're unavailable and it is better to not even open that door to infidelity. If you are going to engage someone, you need some type of exit strategy if it does not go the way you think it would, or if you're misunderstood. Sometimes it's more fun not to start something, than to engage just because we can. It is not as though we do not know how to.

But how can you even tell if people are staring at you?
You'd have to look at their eyes to see whether their eyes are directed at you, and that would require you to stare at them.
So maybe the solution is don't stare at other people's faces.
When I'm in public I'd have no idea who is staring at me, because I don't survey the room to see where each person is looking.....
