      We’re talking within a work place. People do talk to each other.

        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.
