There is a difference between showing mutual interest, and unwanted sexual conversation, touching, inappropriateness. I worked at a church for a time, and was, I felt, sexually harrassed by the Pastor. He would discuss his sexual desires in my company, which I told him was uncomfortable (I guess he got a thrill out of watching me squirm), but which he continued to discuss at times where it was inappropriate for me to leave (staff meetings, committee meetings, etc.). He would also stand very close to me while I was seated, positioning his penis so it was inches from my face! ICK! There were other things involved, including some inappropriate hugging...anyway, I got reported his behavior, which in the end, got him fired. Some people didn't think this was sexual harrassment, but considering I made it clear to him that his behavior made me uncomfortable, I felt it was. I should also mention that his behavior was part of a daily routine which continued for almost a year, despite my attempts to end it, and reports of being uncomfortable.
Just my little soap box...
