Years ago when I was in Europe, I was amazed by a man in a bar telling me everyone there (his friends) simply assumed I would be sleeping with him that night because we were talking and drinking (although in a group). He was married and had a daughter my age (14--I passing for 18); I was appalled and amazed that none of it seemed to be a big deal to them. When I asked him to explain how this was possibly ok, he shrugged and told me it just was.
