I met a really nice man last year and it was in a business situation and I felt like I could not break protocol to flirt or ask him out. I find it hard in business situations to just change mode of character yet a lot of my friends years ago who often get dates this way and I wondered how they did it because no men ever did that with me or ask me out on dates like that. so I tend to always remain stayed and not break social protocols. maybe I should but it doesn't come easy to me.
