Google and Facebook set the rules that employees only get one shot, and that indirect answers like "I'm busy" or "I can't that night" also count as a no.

    Woah!

    I think it makes sense tbh.

  • Personally, I would rather keep my private life separate from work. But unexpected things do come up!

    One shot policy is sensible, but “I’m busy” != “no”. I’m sorry but just fucking say no if you’re not interested.

      So men should just ignore women until approached first. That totally makes sense. Until she consents, don’t talk to her.

      Obviously, that's not at all what I'm suggesting.

      Talk to other adults (men and women) as adults.

      If you are interested in dating someone and they are interested in dating you, you will both look for opportunities to date.

      But if one person is interested and the other isn't interested, only one will look for opportunities to get together. The other person won't.

      And if you keep pursuing the other person without receiving any "interest signals" it could be perceived as creepy.

      People will tell you if they're interested or not.

    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.

    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.
