How Long Before A Man Flirting With A Woman Is Considered To Be Sexual Harassment?

You may all laugh but I'm not so sure, especially if the chap is a little socially awkward and perhaps makes an ill judged comment. We are heading for a soulless boring world where interaction between the sexes is kept to an absolute minimum in case some perpetually offended type gets upset.

[jackthehat]

Cheer up, dave.

Are you one of the perpetually offended types?

Your posts seem to point to the fact that you may well be...

[Mamyalynne]

At any moment in any day between two people that may happen and some delicate soul throws their hands up in the air and gets upset over a simple 'you look nice',that has always been the case - but it's unlikely to become the norm.

Folk like banter and also compliments, the World turns and we'll survive.

Life will only become bleak and soulless if we allow it.

I believe a law will soon be enacted where all flirting must be done on social media. Moderators will step in at the first sign of normal human behaviour.

r...I heard one could get pregnant via social media .

..or from a toilet seat.

Oh how I wish a man would flirt with me!

[aelmpvw]

in answer to your question, in my day many years ago a clip round the ear was a fair indication that she wasn't interested

How you going, 'honey'.

[anthro-nerd]

If he looks at me for too long, then I'm reporting him... (that's right nowadays isn't it?)

[ummmm]

A clip round the ear could get you a punch in the face.

[maggiebee]

Oh, AOG you say the sweetest things!

[Islay]

As spath say's.
There is a difference between flirting and harrassment - a 'hello sweetie how's it going' is fine but if after being told to bogg off the same fella is now stalking her or following her and making comments that are deemed inappropriate then he deserves everything he gets!

Surely that would be classed as common assault?

If after a quarter of a hour she still telling you to jump in the canal ... then give up.
