I think if it is said in a positive context any chosen word can be good. The trick is to know your audience. What will they respond favorably to?!

As for work/life situations, I've had guys (and women) come on to me at work and else where. As long as they respect me if I say I'm not interested right now, its a knock on the door. Don't push where your not wanted and walk in freely if invited!

It can be a real issue if people (esp. women) are two-faced. Don't stand around telling jokes and comming onto people and then cry foul!!!
