    The first time I noticed it on someone else, it was someone with a crush on me who had to spend all day with me, so not exactly fear, but nerves.

    What did you do about it if you could notice? Has it ever worked in your favor?

      In that case, I wasn’t interested and just felt immense pity at the situation, so I completely ignored it and talked to another coworker about our SOs at the group lunch table with him.

      I’ve definitely noticed it on job interviews I’ve held and first dates/relationship milestones. In the former, I just ignore it, and in the latter, I do keep it in mind.

      I have to shower after I have something like a job interview though, because it’s not a pleasant smell.

        Cool. My sense of smell isn’t that good, so it’s kind of curious to know some people are that sensitive.
