Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and nobody's THAT kinky.

This is never going to be true, no matter what you say it about.

Co-workers are very touchy business.

I wouldn't flirt at all. Just talk to them as you would a friend. Then you can find out at a slower rate if they have interests that are compatible with you.

And then once you know said interests, you can use them to help you ask said co-worker out.

It's fine to suggest doing something outside of work (not a date) and in that non-work environment it's fine to flirt or ask her out later.

Be very very careful - bear in mind that these days anything can be sexual harassment. Goes double if we're talking underlings

My policy in such matters is to never make the advance unless you're at least 75% sure that the answer will be "yes." If you don't have reason to believe that there is real chemistry between the two of you, it is not worth the risk. Particularly if you work for a company that prides itself on high turnover and is always eager to manufacture incidents.

Though I hope you're close enough with your wife to talk about it with her.

No. It's good to have a relationship that is open and healthy enough to discuss these issues.

There's a commercial I saw a while ago, where a guy and girl are talking about a party or something, and they're alone and this is our first time seeing these two characters but they're clearly close and kinda personal with eachother but obvious we don't know anything about these people in the 1 second we've known them. The guy comes up behind her and kisses her neck or ear, it's honestly hard to tell what's going on the scene is kinda dark and the camera is far away, and the girl is very definitely not giving off the impression that she's being harassed, and then the words "That's sexual harassment" pop up on-screen and the commercial ends, and I'm left confused and wondering what the fuck. What should have happened commercial? I feel like the commercial is making some bizarre judgment call on the morality of interactions between men and women, and the whole damn thing feels alienating.

A good rule of thumb is not eating where you dump (or is is dumping where you eat). I never dated anyone from work or barely had any interaction outside of work with any coworkers and it has worked for me very well this 10 years.

Also if you are married better don't dick a round and be respectful of your wife. I had a horrible experience a couple of years ago from a stupid mistake from before being married (or even engaged) and it wasn't even a physical thing. I know its stupid but I had to find my balls and talk to her about it.

It's up to you to decide if this is something you need to talk with your wife or if it was nothing indeed and will not have consequences.

We live in troublesome times with things bring misinterpretated and/or blown out of proportion. You have to be very careful and when in doubt err on the side of caution. For that matter I'm going to state the obvious and say that you have to be veey careful about what you post in social media too;

Hmm, I wonder if they switched the genders of the people in the commercial, they would think it's still sexual harassment.\?
