“Welcome” is the line between unwanted sexual harassment and acceptable sexual attention. Workplace romances are lawful. Unwanted harassment is not. If the sexual conduct is offensive and not appreciated, you should say so. If you stay quiet or play along, the employer and harasser could claim that you did not find it unwelcome.
