Although I would probably ask to feel cowgirls tummy because I wouldn't believe a 50 year old woman could be Prego.I'm like BC in that even if invited, I'd probably still be a bit weirded out at feeling a preg coworker's belly. But maybe it's because I know I would hate that myself.
In any case, there's probably a line on the "invited to touch" too - like if a woman says "grab my boobs, they're huge today!" or a male coworker invites touching on something else that is "huge" today
Best advice I can give, is keep all relationships at business very businesslike and sanitary. Even vendors, they can be the worst. You will get vendors who are touchy feely and very flirty (imo, this crap needs to stop also but as long as it works it will continue). If the opposite sex, consider them the same sex as you and concentrate on the business point. That will keep you fairly clean of issues.
Want to find a partner, find someone is a totally different avenue of work and start there.
If he inappropriately laid a finger on Dylan Dreyer, I will find him and castrate him.I'm jealous, good work Matt.
I have to agree with this. There's a customer I hate to go to, because one of their guys is always reminding me how long its been since the last time he saw me and commenting on my looks, clothes. The people I actually work with there are great. But because I have to pass by this guy every time, I never look forward to it.
Although this thread may be a very good example of appropriateness. Some of us converse on a semi regular basis and some dont. The level of frankness, a little joking, and discussion seemed to work along those lines.wow...this thread went a very strange direction from the first page. I did not see this coming.

Did you wear your Wonder Woman outfit? Is that really appropriate?
From the way I read it that's what SpokaneCy did he stopped it before it even became an issue.
But he acted like it was something easy to misunderstand. It really wasn’t.
I would say if you turn him down simply blame it on your job and say that you aren't allowed to have more than a professional relationship with your clients. By no means should you go out with someone simply because you are concerned you will lose a client. I'm sure that isn't in your job description. ;-) If it gets that far, you should let your boss know about it immediately and how you handled it. It's better that your boss hears about it from you. Frankly, if you are uncomfortable it might not hurt to let your boss know about it before it goes that far...Only once out of the 15 or so encounters. (j/k)
Honestly, I'd have no problem with his comments if it was a coworker. But when I work for a supplier and I'm visiting his workplace. The last thing I want to do is create a scene at one of our customers. If I turn him down, who knows if he's friends with the purchasing manager? If he asks me out and I say yes, will I get my company in trouble if I dump him later on? I'm in a catch 22.
I just smile and say yes it's been awhile, and end the conversation as quickly and tactfully as possible.
After reading this, I find it hard believing that his 2 cohosts, who were so shocked this morning, had no prior knowledge of this
