    I’ll be honest, as long as you don’t make it weird you can approach a lot of people be they’re on the job or not. If they’re on the job just ask them about the journey so far. Like, they’re also human you can treat them as such.

      Nah, people talk. If it’s known that you’ve approached many people, you’ll get an automatic rejection from the rest.

        Unless you live in Buttfuck Montana, how would that be known?

            Yes, and if I have my headphones on at work, that means I’m focusing on something and you shouldn’t bother me unless it’s important. That’s what it means for most people. It certainly doesn’t mean “this is a good time to ask me out.”

              Tell that to people impervious to subtlety.

              But I meant that if you ask out a lot of persons at work, all the others will know and they’ll reject you preemptively.
