Thwart someone's advances
To cockblock is to interfere with someone's attempt to have sex or pursue a romantic connection.
A cockblock is a person who does this, whether intentionally or obliviously: My roommate totally cockblocked me last night.
The term is vulgar but common in casual speech, especially among younger people.
It extends to any interference with someone's plans or goals: Don't cockblock me on this promotion.
