There are a few different common outcomes.

First of all, too much tension builds and one or both people start to get uncomfortable, not sure they are behaving appropriately.

Secondly, there's the all too common scenario where one starts flirting with the other, then the other gets uncomfortable and shies away. Or the other may ignore the flirting, and then the one starts feeling resentful and being distant or unkind or just weird.

And then of course there's the situation one person suddenly comes clean about his/her feelings, which can result in either them not talking anymore or in things being weird after that.

Those are the most common ones I've encountered at least. The "point of no return" that I spoke of is the point where mild attraction becomes infatuation, I think.
