      Simply asking someone for their number is not harassment.

      Repeatedly asking for someone’s number after being told no is.

      There isn’t any nuance to this situation.

        Telling someone they’re beautiful when they think you’re gross is creepy/harassment.

          It’s okay to talk to women if you’re a male model but stay the fuck away if you aren’t. Got it.

          “when they think you’re gross”

          How can I know if someone thinks I’m gross if I haven’t spoken to them yet? I should just assume I’m gross, always?

            That’s the fun part, you can’t. Don’t assume they think you’re gross, but do remember that you don’t know what they think.

              But if I tell them they’re beautiful and it turns out they think I’m gross I could go to prison for harassment! Am I really just supposed to roll the dice like that?

            Sexual harassment isn’t a crime, and hitting on a coworker is textbook sexual harassment. You should probably talk to HR before you get yourself fired.

          Depends on how you do it. The way it’s portrayed here is weird, because they use the “is it sexual harassment…” phrase and kinda belittle the problem of sexual harassment within society. Makes me think he’s an avid Andrew Tate fanboy. So it’d be an instant “thx goodbye” from me.

          But if you just take the rest… I don’t think it’s harassment if you drop an honest compliment and ask for someone’s number.

      I hope you just have a feminine sounding name and you’re not a real life woman with this opinion.
