This is unfortunately a very common thing that women pull. I have a lot of "handy" skills and I have had multiple women pretend to be interested in the hopes that I would fix something in their apartment for them.

I cannot fathom pretending to be interested in someone just to use them like that. It's really quiet dehumanizing and then for so many people to cheer that behavior on is disgusting. Not really a mystery people aren't lining up to go on dates these days.
