When it comes to coworkers especially those in positions of authority I distance myself from it as much as possible it's a big no for me.
In regards to people I'm not working with or alongside of then it's not as big of a deal.
I don't think I should weigh in here. But many years ago I flirted with a cute guy in office. He was a trainee. We went for movies and dinner a few times. But I wanted him to take take the lead and he was a bit shy or scared. So I stopped seeing him
I wouldn’t do anything about it, and if they were attractive, I wouldn’t unwelcome it either. To be honest, it’s better for a guy to be in this position than a girl.
Police officer? Probably show him/her instantly that I'm not interested in him/her
I would be totally fine with the other ones, and probably feel complimented/turned on
Uncomfortable. The probability of me reacting in a weird way by either bulldozing the attempts to flirt or do some extremely bad flirting is 100%, and I don’t want the annoying situation where I piss off a person in power.
For me now, as long as I am single, I don't mind it at all especially if they started flirting with me first. There's beautiful women in all types of business positions and I am not uncomfortable or intimidated if they're Police officers, Medical officials, my boss, Attorney, Jugde, Politicians or even President of the United States. Usually when a woman flirts with me and I pursue them means, there's trust, maturity, respect, attraction, and be responsible.
I'd feel flattered as long as it was respectful. If it's too the degree of groping or cat calling then hands will be thrown
I would shut it down professionally. I’m not intimidated by anyone because of their title. My rules still stands.
Had a boss flirt with me once. I didn't return the affection, and was unceremoniously fired the next day without warning or notice.
I’ve had it happen. I was slightly confused at first, but then I realized what was going on. I stayed polite and tiptoed around and out of the situation
I had an off duty police offw flirt with me, i was extremely embarrassed but also made me smile like an idiot for the rest of the day
Nah i dont want them going on a powertrip and using my job or something as leverage
There was a lady in her early twenties in the catering service at a party who flirted with me, I just smiled back at her, didn't talk to her much.
Happening to me now. My chief exec keeps coming to my desk, his eyes shiny, smiling like a goof ball, soft voice. I am enjoying it and would like to see where it goes, but I am a private person and it's a an open office. Lol, it's going to be funny when everyone is back to work - he's being so obvious. I am worried a bit about gossip, but this is a really organic, sweet connection.
Makes me feel pretty awkward. I can't be sure if they're serious or not, and then I feel silly for thinking they did. But then I feel bad if I was rude about their flirting also if they actually were. And because of my flusteredness I get really weird and shy/socially awkward... It just causes a lot of anxiety. I mean, for sure it can be flattering. But typically speaking it's not worth the panic attack. But that goes for bot guys also so maybe I'm just broken lol.
Never happened to me, but it'd be flattering, especially if they were hot.
I would go along with it, something so attractive about a man in uniform 😍🥵
Really frickin awkward. No matter how attractive he is. Thankfully it's never happened.
I'm pretty attracted to female authority, to be honest, but I keep thing professional, especially since I'm married.
It just feels like they are taking advantage of their position to get whatever they want. It turns me off.
