Boundries - Is it OK to flirt at work?

[Deja Q]

But, much like paparazzi-plagued celebrities, you have to keep insisting that you're "just friends" to everyone around you, including yourselves. Still, you wonder, "What's the big deal, anyway? A little flirtation never hurt anyone."

Pay attention to body language. If the object of your flirtation is not reciprocating, that person may be uncomfortable (arms crossed in front of the chest is usually a signal) or simply uninterested (take a lack of eye contact or unenthusiastic, one-word answers as major hints).

Be aware of the message your own body language is sending as well. Maintaining eye contact or lightly touching a person's hand when telling a story is fine; behavior that is sexual in nature, such as shoulder- or back-rubbing, is not only inappropriate, it's nauseating for others to watch.
