This is amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. They really do this, and it's so frustrating- because if you call them out, they'll always deny it. It's so obvious when they're tiptoeing over the line, but they will shame you if you mention it (like she said, "How dare you? Don't you know I love my wife?") I had a guy who started coming over to my house to weedwhack and leafblow my yard. He'd show up unannounced. He'd also text me messages saying how much he loved me, that I was a great wife, that he can't wait to show me how much he loves me when he gets home... then immediately after, he'd text "oops- I meant to send that to my wife". He sent me these texts CONSTANTLY. Like, really? I could see you making that mistake once, but not all the time. When I finally told him I didn't want him coming over to do yard work anymore, he was so angry because he was trying to "do a good deed for a single mom". I don't even know if his wife knew he was coming over, but it was so incredibly inappropriate.
💯 Lived and learned this one! It can be surprisingly subtle when you’re actively experiencing it pre-block & delete, but hopefully intuition wins out. Love Crappy Childhood Fairy - Anna Runkle. 🧚🏽♀️

Omg I had this happen to me for the first time a year ago. I would work this one venue, and whenever I'd be there, this pretty hot employee would remind me how he has a girlfriend but then say things to make me have a reaction to him. I did have some sexual attraction towards him and he felt it, and would feed off of it. It stroked his ego that I would get flusteredaround him. But then always remind me of his gf. Ugh. Now there's a word for that too. Bookmarking. Nice.
