Im just listening to a debate about this on the Radio.
Is it something you dare partake in?
Do you ever say something to a work colleague and they laugh politely and then later on find out they told another colleague they were secretly offended?
Is it best to just remain entirely professional at work?
Have you felt sexually harrassed at work?
Do you ever worry you are maybe coming accross as a desperate perv?
No I think its extremely inappropriate at the workplace...and can lead to other things. You don't know how someone will feel even if you think its harmless, some may have cultural differences, it just doesn't belong in the workplace. That's the constant joking around, harmlessly flirting bit. Now if you're legitimately interested and ask a co-worker out that's a different story.
I've never been sexually harassed at work, but I have had co-workers actually do have co-workers that flirt with me because they are interested. It just makes everything so much more uncomfortable and complicated.
One guy flirts with me often, and while I brush it off, trying not to be rude its gets uncomfortable when you're in an environment with your peers.
In fact the first week I started working where I work, i actually got hit on by another co-worker. My first week..and while we could both have been interested in each other, how would it look if in my first week I already have hooked up with someone?
