The New Dating Scene - Getting a call from the Police

@AntisocialTroll Morbidcynic said the same thing. I can see that point that work is an innapropriate place.

@AntisocialTroll Ok, what if she liked him and accepted and called him later. Would it be ok then? See my point?

@JimboSaturn Even if I personally liked the look of someone I would never date someone who had approached me in this way.

It's a pain in the arse to be hit on at work, it's not welcomed by a lot of us, a shop assistant isn't really in a position to tell him to fluck off, having to be polite to random men who see us as mere objects is no fun.

It's not like the guy knew her as a person, he's asking her out on looks alone, for a lot of us that in it's self is a red flag, add in the fact that she's there to work not socialise and I find it completely inappropriate.

As a bloke you and your mate have precious little knowledge of what it's like to have to be fending off the advances of random men when you are at work, hence your lack of understanding at just how creepy it seems.

@AntisocialTroll Point taken. But he just gave his number and walked away. What about if she wasn't at work, would it be different?

@JimboSaturn Depends on the situation, I've never liked being approached by random men when I'm just walking down the street for instance, if I'm in a pub with my mates that's different.

Being approached by random strangers can be very threatening in anything other than a social situation.

Men who are genuinely respectful of women don't just hit on random strangers in non social situations simply because they like the look of them.

It's a very over entitled way to behave, it is creepy.

@AntisocialTroll Point taken. So approaching women this way should be limited to certain social situations where is expected, I can understand that.

@JimboSaturn Exactly.
