Thought me and one of the residents of the building I work at were building some kind of rapport, tonight I made a somewhat flirty joke as they were leaving the building and they gave me the weirdest look 🤭. I feel so embarrassed and didn't mean to make them feel uncomfortable. What should I do to make it right?

Maybe try apologizing? Next time you see them just apologize if you overstepped the last time you spoke. Maybe you'll get lucky and they didn't hear you correctly.

You could ask, the person you are closest to...What everyone thought you meant in that moment? to better understand what exactly pushed a boundary? As they may have interpreted differently the humor you were attempting to convey.

I would want you to be pleasant (not too pleasant) and act like it didn’t happen. For me, bringing it up again might make me more uncomfortable.
