Why is flirting (#2) immoral? If you're nice to the tech guy, and he's nice back, exactly where have we created a problem? Is being terse and unfriendly more moral?
And why is it immoral to get a free dinner when a man invites you out to dinner? When a person invites another out for a "date" it is generally assumed - ask miss manners - that the asker will be paying for the askee. There is no assumption of purchasing sex; merely the dinner that was offered. Not immoral in my book.
Because I would consider something immoral, I wouldn't do it. Doesn't mean I think everyone should have the same opinion or do exactly what I do or don't do. Nothing wrong with someone being genuinely dumb or uninformed on a subject, I just hate it when TV and popular culture seems to glorify dumbness or consider being dumb the equivalent of being funny. That one just hit a pet peeve of mine, though I may have misinterpreted it. I have nothing against an agreed-upon date, and that did not appear on my list. I wouldn't consider flirting immoral if one is genuinely interested in the person one is flirting with. But flirting with a different motive would rub me the wrong way.
