- Hey Pally! Since you are in Canada, I don't know what they
- feel about sexual harrassment up there, but in the USA, you
- risk being charged with it if the girl reacts in a negative way.
- No, although even a year ago, it would have been OK to ask the
- girl out, since the Anita Hill controversy, and with public
- opinion seemingly believing any accusers of sexual harrasment
- whether proven or not, you would be better off just ignoring the
- girl, unless you see her in a public place. Find out where
- she hangs out, and happen to run into her there. Then I think
- you might be safe from any potential liability problems with
- sexual harrassment.
