I think that's part of why Irene is as noticed as she is [as far as ACD canon goes], is because she was the one woman who caught Sherlock's attention* but didn't return it, or even seem that interested in having any type of relationship with him.
*Romantically, non-romantically, whatever. She took him off guard which peaked his interest because he wasn't used to that.
