That is entirely possible, of course.
The issue arises when someone starts hounding you and then, following that—🤣
I was watching a solid episode of DS9 yesterday.

Among other things, there is a plot point where three Kardashian women arrive at the station, and one of them gets into a verbal sparring match—words rather than actions, though her behavior reflects it too—with the chief engineer (O'Brien).
Throughout the segment, they are just bickering—he's somewhat oblivious and occasionally swears, while she mostly just needles him.
Toward the end of the episode, she begins talking to him about having children together.🙂
He isn't interested.
It's a cultural difference—for Kardashians, verbal sparring is often a sign of attraction...
In the end, though, they hit it off; she ends up apologizing.🤣
