Can I date my Danish colleague?

Many Danes meet their future spouses at work. Yet there are also strict laws in Denmark against sexual harassment.

Where do you draw a line between harassment and two adults developing tender feelings for each other?

Given the Danes\u2019 fondness for alcohol, many inter-office romances start at the annual Christmas party. Ms. X and Mr. Y drink a bottle of wine or two, wiggle suggestively together on the dance floor, and depart to one or the other\u2019s home in a taxi to complete the evening. The next morning, they discuss whether they are interested in a future romantic relationship.

If that doesn\u2019t sound like your style, or if Christmas is too far away, there are other ways to handle the matter.
