00:00And so I felt instantly extremely uncomfortable with that type of language being used in the capacity of our relationship,
00:09which was significantly, it was non-existent at that point.
00:14And so I just felt, you know, very averse to this individual from the beginning.
00:20Over time, this individual, after making the, you know, performative apology and, you know, me accepting that, continued to make
00:32advances towards developing what at the time I understood to be a professional relationship.
00:39It was very clear to me that after the first meeting outside of a professional or public space with this
00:48individual, that they were not simply interested in maintaining professional relationships with me.
00:55It was very obvious this person was interested in much more.
01:00And so I had to make a decision, despite my better judgment, of maintaining contact with this person, which I
01:11did, eventually leading to, you know, us spending time together in a dating capacity.
