So, there was something that happened at my job one time years ago, and it both deeply disturbed me on a personal level, and made me question the way I interact with some of my coworkers.

I was working at a Papa John's as a random insider. This store always had two or three girls who only worked the phones. A girl started there who had an older sister I had worked with for a while prior and we were generally chatty, just regular bullshitting.

I mentioned I knew her sister and we ended up the same way, just general greeting each other when we arrived, regular chatting, etc. She was studying to go into medicine, so we would chat about that sometimes.

She added me on Facebook, I'm usually Facebook friends with most people I work with, no big deal.

Now this young woman was like 19 or 20, and honestly she was drop dead gorgeous. But I never made any moves or indicated any kind of attraction, I mean I definitely noticed but there was no dialogue or interactions about it between us. Besides I was several years older than her and in a relationship. Just regular old work associates.

One day after several months of this, she came in and we greeted each other and when she walked by she was wearing some really noticeable perfume. I just mentioned as she walked by that she smelled nice today, I think in those exact words.

But after that she didn't really talk to me. I didn't notice at first but after a couple of times of just starting up our normal chatter I picked up on it and backed off although I couldn't think of anything else out of the ordinary that had occurred to between us.

She was leaving for school soon and only had a few days left at work, we never really chatted anymore after that. But a few days after she left, I went to send her a Facebook message telling her good luck with school and realized she had blocked me.

I don't know why but it made me feel incredibly creepy and old and weird and made me start questioning all of our previous interactions, and whether she had read something into them that wasn't there, or if I was somehow unintentionally being a creeper and misunderstood what I thought was just normal workplace interaction.

Ever since I've questioned if I crossed a line without intending or realizing it. And of course it makes me feel bad about myself because I go out of my way to be the nicest, most respectful person I can. I'm a safe person to everyone I know if they have literally anything to talk about or for my LGBTQ friends or my super religious friends, really anyone.

So this outlier has really troubled me because I question if I was somehow being creepy or inappropriate and didn't realize it.
