Agreed. I've seen statistics along the lines of 75% of relationships, in the UK, starting due to meeting at work. I've certainly dated several colleagues, over the years.

22% of married couples in the US met at work. It seems like so many of these complaints come from people who swear they are Nice Guys. I've literally never seen an issue of someone asking another person out once. I have seen multiple times guys who don't accept no for an answer and continue harassing women about dating them or grossly unacceptable behavior at social events. Usually that inappropriate behavior and the casual harassment is ignored by the company. The last clear example in my mind was at a major tech company based in the US which everyone would recognize. We had a direct college hire who was followed around at an offsite by a middle aged man who repeatedly pressured her into going back to his hotel room. He followed her around all night, despite her telling him multiple times she wasn't interested. It got to the point where everyone in the group realized what was going on and made sure to not leave her alone while trying to convince the guy to go to bed. This issue was rightfully reported, and nothing at all came of it. You can ask people out and still respect their boundaries.
