> Ask people out on dates
You’re actually very much not allowed to do this in many professional situations. Unfortunately the line between when it’s okay and not okay is illegible to many people.

- schwartzworld 4y agoIt's hard to think of many situations when it would be completely unacceptable to ask someone once as long as you respect their answer. The exceptions are situations with a skewed power dynamic, i.e. a boss hitting on an underling.
- orzig 4y agoWhat's tricky about this stuff is that it's in between a "thing you're allowed to do" and "completely unacceptable". I'd suspect it's close to to former than the latter, but even with best efforts it's not zero risk, mostly through the slow accumulation of awkwardness and misinterpreted communication on both sides.
