Hitting on and getting hit on by undergrads

Most of the math and engineering posters here should try dropping by the Psych department sometime. I am a male TA in psych, with classes that have female to male ratios of around 10:1, and I am constantly just a little bit paranoid about saying the wrong thing and getting myself into some kind of trouble. It also does not help that all my most attractive students have the highest grades and it has NOTHING to do with me, as those grades are from the section taught by the professor, and are multiple choice and marked by a scantron machine.

Also I have more than a few type A personality students who visit my office constantly trying to get some hidden secret to getting a better grade, and in most of their cases I have to work really really hard to ignore their appearance (give me a break I work like 65 hours a week and am surrounded by them most of that time). PLUS there are a total of 16 TA’s in my department, (including me) of whom myself and about 4 others are unmarried.

I am leaning towards Entrapment here. O.o
