Here in 2024 saying “Hey do you want to go out for coffee sometime” is a career ending move.

That's simply not true. Not unless you're asking it persistently, to the point where people find it annoying.

And I think that's the hitch people get caught on. They don't realize when they're being annoying, so they're either too brash or too shy.

One of my favorite things to witness (usually via video) is someone being persistent, to the point of annoyance, bring told "no" every time, with varying degrees of profanity mixed in.... Then when something happens that makes the annoying person who is persistent finally stop (usually involving physical violence), they say "all you had to do was say no!"

Aaaahahahaha. You were an annoying little shit and wouldn't take no for an answer despite being told no repeatedly. You deserved what you got, you dumb fuck.
