confess-baiting

when a character is about to confess, (usually in queerbaiting/queercoded/queer shows), but say some stupid shit instead.

guy character 1: i have to tell you something i never got to

guy character 2: what is it?

guy character 1: i.... *build up romance pause* lied about that one time we done *insert some stupid shit*

person watching the show: WHAT THE FUCK? THEY WERE CONFESS-BAITING? THOSE FUCKERS
