I just don't think that the comments being sexual is a bad thing. I'm not that sensitive when it comes to sex. So yes, personally, I think they were rather harmless. However, if she did feel uncomfortable she should've been able to say so instead of feeling the need to be ambiguous about it. (And now please don't say she couldn't for career reasons because I've already adressed that and said that I find this kind of environment to be a huge problem in a previous post.) I'm not saying it's her fault. I'm saying it's a misunderstanding. Could the guy have been a little brighter and caught onto the fact that his advances were unwanted? Definitely. But she could've also been a little more firm and definite in her rejection.
OK as I posted on another page, it might not have been career reasons. She might just be the kind of person who want's to let an awkward or uncomfortable situation blow over without trying to start anything or provoke the harasser to anger. That person can still be just as uncomfortable or distressed as the person who's ready to say "F OFF!"
