I guess the same way you'd flirt with anyone else....smiles, body language, conversation, etc. I'm not buying all the posts about not doing it, sexual harrassment, etc. I had an awesome relationship with a guy I worked with and I'd do it again....probably very soon

I think one has much more leeway with flirting in not so flirting-friendly areas if they are attractive. People generally like being flirted with by attracted people. It's flirting if he looks like Brad Pitt. It's sexual harassment if he looks like Steve Buscemi (although I love the latter actor ).

However, I would NEVER EVER overtly flirt. If you're even tiptoeing near the vulgar line, back away! Think light, playful, and just generally friendly. Nothing too intense.

True. However there is a fine line between flirting and sexual harrassment. That is why some say dont do it.
My husband and I got "counseled" at work many times because of our friendliness and "flirting". To the point we threatend to sue our employer because they were harrassing us. We didnt date until after I left.

Even in the US, if you ask a woman out, and she rejects you, it's not harassment. YOu have to do it more than one time. If she rejects you, do NOT try again.

Very carefully. Haven't you heard the phrase - "don't crap where you eat"? If you value your employment, you will proceed with caution.

I wanted to write that, wasn't sure if the moderator would cut the language.

I think people are attracted to others at work because they're stuck with them 9+ hours a day. It just becomes natural to be drawn to someone. Unfortunately, take work out of the equation, and 90% of couples have NOTHING in common
Hi MAtheBanker,


That is an interesting observation. I will bet those couples probably do nothing but talk about work. I did not find the idea appealing. Its relationship by default. I have often heard that people consider having things in common to be a good thing. I wanted a lot of differences. The above sounds like a nightmare.
