If this was &quot;after hours&quot; between two adults? Was it a couple comments, that got rebuffed (You think I&#x27;m cute? Thank you, but I&#x27;m not interested) and was then dropped? Was it repeated comments that continued after &quot;she&quot; said no?<p>I wouldn&#x27;t use those terms with someone at work, during working hours... I wouldn&#x27;t think it&#x27;s earth ending to compliment someone after hours, outside of the work place (The terminology is a bit strong for my tastes, but assuming it is intended to be &quot;complementary&quot;... depending on how &quot;comfortable&quot; I was with someone, I might use similar terms if I &quot;read the situation&quot; as &quot;she might be interested&quot;)<p>I&#x27;m all for &quot;fire for harassment&quot;... but is this really harassment (continued after refusal)? Or is this a one time thing that happened when hanging out after hours that ended upon request?<p>&quot;Context is irrelevant&quot; is a bit short sighted, because context - and responses of all involved - is completely relevant..
