Yeah, I have to agree with you despite the people talking about balance. Hitting on people at work or while they are in the performance of their work duties is

  20% of married couples disagree. There seems to be a running belief that being creepy and hitting on someone are one and the same. "Come grab coffee in buenos ares ;)" != "cmon pleaaaaaaaaaaase". Say those in a bar, a dating site, at the water cooler, in an elevator, in a subway... they mean different things regardless of the location.

    I met my wife at a past work and... I still disagree with you. Look, my future wife and I shared an office but were on different teams and projects. We befriended each other. Neither of us embarrassed the other at work by making unwelcome passes that aren't easy to back away from in a work-related situation. We never really shared work responsibilities, but if we had, neither of us would have replied to a request for work-related help with an invitation to discuss the color of each other's eyes. Neither of us was in a position of power over the other. Our relationship developed outside of the office, in a context where it was obvious our interactions were not work related, and where if anyone wanted to back away from that, it wouldn't have impacted our jobs at all. "Hitting on someone", in the context of writing unsolicited flirtatious messages on a support channel, prompted only by the fact the profile picture of support staff looks like a girl is unambiguously creepy. Was there any indication the girl wanted to be invited to coffee in a different country just because she, uh, looked like a female human?
