Is there a point at which, if we find ourselves irrestibly drawn towards someone, it is better to look away, to shut them out of our experience, to deny even what our instincts and emotions are telling us?

Common advice says to follow your instincts and be drawn in.
Measured advice would be to tread carefully
Careful advice would be to protect yourself (ok, thats my advice to myself and it doesn't work)
Is there something that stops you from following instinct? Is there a reason for you NOT to? Is it a valid reason or an excuse? And how would the pain of denial compare to the possible happiness of being drawn?

I think yes - if you love the person you are with.

I know you're right ... but ain't life difficult and complicated sometimes?

I have never done that. I bear the scars though. x
