Well, it definitely pays to be picky with who you confide in, but don't think your openness is in any way an invitation for misconduct. That may not have even been the reason he hit on you. Some men even take rejection or prudishness as a turn on because they see it as a challenge.

This is all about boundaries. A good boss would set them with his subordinates. If he felt like your friendliness was an invitation to an affair and had good morals, HE would have set a boundary verbal or otherwise.

I would suggest, be more cautious but do not blame yourself at all.
Thanks for this!
