The context is an Amazon delivery driver asking a woman he was delivering a parcel to if she's single as she's beautiful.
The majority on there (essentially nosey neighbours with an app) want him strung up, police involved, sacked etc. (during a pandemic, nice!) While I can understand the woman felt intimidated and vulnerable, it'd be a sad world we live in if a guy can't tell a woman he fancies her with a view to a date etc. Are we left with dating apps as the only acceptable way to meet people now?
Hard for me as a man, though, to understand what it's like being harassed by sleazy blokes trying it on. Particularly in an employee/customer situation.
It's a tricky one IMO.
Certainly, years ago, it seemed most couples met through work. I imagine that's massively down now for fear of losing your job at a disciplinary hearing!
Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I wouldn't want him sacked necessarily, but I would not appreciate that in the slightest. Utterly inappropriate and creepy, and I don't agree with you that it's 'a tricky one'.

Dating somebody you work with is very different from the scenario you're talking about here, seeing as both people want that to happen presumably.
I wouldn't go as far as saying the driver needs sacking, but this is clearly not on is it.
Clearly not on? Unless it was a lot different to how it's written in the OP it sounds like he complimented her and asked if she was single? Hardly a crime.
Had he asked her details about whether he could leave something in her 'safe place'.
If it did all happen and work out romantically for them, how long would it be before he was leaving her a note saying "While you were out, I left a package with your neighbour"...
How is that "through work" (in the sense I think you're talking about)?
I'm a completely unreconstructed middle aged middle class honky from Essex/Suffolk and even I think that is 100% unacceptable. If it had been the other way round, the customer making a comment to the delivery driver, less of a big deal, though these days that may also be frowned upon I guess. Making that comment to the person at their home is way out of line, and probably a sacking offence unless no previous disciplinary record.

Young chap who was working for my dad at the time, had a thing for this lass and she barely noticed him.
She worked upstairs in some offices in Stowmarket.
One day he grabbed a piece of card and wrote a message, stood in the middle of the road and held it up until one of her colleagues spotted it and got her.
They were together for years. No one even called the police or anything.

Are things like dropping notes or Valentines cards stalking?
Man, when I was a kid you sent a girl flowers with a contact number to her works/home/wherever. It was considered romantic and worth a shot.
I'm too old for that but if you want to get to know a stranger, how does that work then if you're too afraid to give a compliment etc?
Is stalking people on FB an acceptable alternative instead?
"when I was a kid you sent a girl flowers with a contact number to her works/home/wherever. It was considered romantic and worth a shot."
Of course. But some bird from school or who worked at the corner shop. Not someone who you have literally just seen for the first time, at their front door :)
