It’s inappropriate if it’s inappropriate. Not that hitting on a woman is inappropriate in itself.
Think of it the other way around: You send an email trying to quickly schedule an appointment with someone, and they reply with a time, and flirt with you. It’s weird because there’s no context for that.

- yowzadave 3y agoThere's a TV show starring Stephen Merchant from a few years ago called "Hello Ladies", in which he plays a character who is constantly hitting on (and being rejected by) models and actresses. He has a frequent complaint when he gets shut down for behaving inappropriately: "What are the rules?!?" It's frustrating for people who are less socially adept to learn that, in some cases, there are no hard and fast rules.
