So long as you're doing it right, and know when to back off, you'll be fine. Just keep an eye out for certain signs that they're not interested. If they
instinctually avoid eye contact, or look down or away, then you'll know it's time to leave. Otherwise, if they
continue to smile at you, or laugh even when your jokes aren't funny, you'll know to continue.
Just try to keep an eye out for these, and you won't get accused of harassment.
