Guilt Fishing

A manipulative tactic in which a person (typically a straight male) uses guilt tripping and emotional blackmail to attract (or "fish" for) a romantic partner by abusing the potential victim's sense of empathy and making the victim constantly pity the person who is manipulating them. (otherwise known as the "fisher")
