As for the whole "don't socialize at work" thing, I question the validity of that as a solution. Part of being successful at a job is being liked by your colleagues, and that requires social interaction. If you and a colleague are equal in job performance but one of you has a connection with the boss through Friday drinks, guess who gets laid off first.

To be fair, when your two options are “don’t socialise at work” or “maintain a high risk of being viewed as a creep,” you’re probably first laid off regardless.
It’s amazing how many examples of outrageous behaviour there are and the plethora of guys who just shrug and say “I don’t know how to not be in appropriate!”
Just... look around you... it’s everywhere. Every day. Just hundreds of people having conversations where they don’t offend people or creep anybody out. It’s almost as if it’s easy.
