not a female. I listened to the guy b/c my ex called me over to the phone to make sure he was hearing what he thought the guy said.

I didn't realize this was in the feminist forum - so, as far as the topic - it's about males, not females, but still about crossing those boundaries that are not okay in situations when one person is in a position of power over another.

That was the only such solicitation he ever got, afaik or remember. The first semester of his career - so it was sort of memorable.
