IANAL, etc. Some common themes of sexual harassment training I've taken: - Boorish behavior crosses the line the first time. Assume this follows the "would you want it published in the New York Times?" rule of thumb. - For more ambiguous cases (like asking someone on a date,) it's only OK if you don't actually know if the advance is welcome. Once you get an answer, and it's "no," then anything else is an unwelcome advance. I actually saw someone fired because of this, so don't take it lightly. - Sexual harassment laws exist to protect people against those with positions of power. One training instructor said, "the reason the laws are designed protect your reports against you, and not the other way around, is because you can fire them."
