So, how did you meet yours?
Was it through work, through school through some sports club?
You get the idea.
In todays modern world, is it acceptable to socialise / meet / fuck people who we meet through different social places?
Where is the border line?
For example, can I invite a work colleague to a coffee after work?
If I'm working for one company, is it acceptable to invite someone from another, perhaps competing company, for a coffee after work?
If I work in a school admin department, is it acceptable to ask a school teacher to share a coffee after work?
The lines of social interaction are for me being blurred far too much by corporate responsibility.
Asking for a friend. |

Meet or invite who you want or like and don't give a f**k what others think . |

I think it's fine to approach people *politely and respectfully* in work situations with a view to dating. The problems arise when people think it's ok to overtly sexual or creepy in their approach. Just talk to someone, get to know them and if you seem to get along ask them if they'd like to meet for a coffee.
The obvious exceptions to this are doctor/patient, student/teacher type situations and where company rules forbid.
Mr and I met at work 40 years ago, it all seemed so much simpler then. |

The majority of my long term (all of them to be honest) relationships started at work. Even the one I’m in now is a blind date an ex work colleague set up.
I have done online dating and been to clubs, but generally find it’s easier to meet in the workplace or through others at work.  |

With the exception of ‘stealing’ someone from their significant other, most methods of meeting new people are widely accepted.
Online used to be considered weird but is fast becoming the norm. I think work is generally the main way in a lot of instances though, especially if you no longer work together |
