The fact that it occurred to you to post this in #MeToo, to me, suggests that you know that these policies are important and need to be supported. I have been in a relationship the whole time I’ve been at my current job, but I’ve had coworkers at previous jobs seek relationships to an extent that became predatory, and it gets so bad so fast.
Pretty much every time I did end up on a date, they always suggested an alternate time if the first time didn’t work for them.
Personally, I would rather keep my private life separate from work. But unexpected things do come up!
What about maybe tomorrow
Sane policies. Protects all the genders involved. And you need such policies because there are people across the spectrum - smitten, dog sniffers/pure horny, predators, looking for genuine connections... list goes on.
One shot policy is sensible, but “I’m busy” != “no”. I’m sorry but just fucking say no if you’re not interested.
How about just fucking say yes if you are interested and anything else is a no. *edit* especially at the workplace consider that the default is "I don't want to date you." Anything else is the exception.
So men should just ignore women until approached first. That totally makes sense. Until she consents, don’t talk to her.
Just don't.
I think having regulations in place is very helpful because this issue would be brought to attention, and employees would be extra careful when/if they choose to date each other. Also they get some good press. Win Win.
I mean yeah, but the best way to go is to be straightforward. Then there's no "what if" to the story.
Woah! I think it makes sense tbh.
