cockblocker
Unwelcome third wheel
A cockblocker is someone who interferes with another person's attempt to pursue a sexual or romantic connection.
The interference may be intentional—a jealous friend, a protective sibling—or oblivious: Her roommate was such a cockblocker, always hanging around.
The term is vulgar but common in casual speech, especially among younger people.
The verb is cockblock.
