FACTS CONSIDERED

A friend called dibs on a new coworker who has shown no interest in anyone. No agreement or wingman duty exists.

RULING

NO VIOLATION. The No-Blocking Rule protects a respectful conversation where interest is clear; it does not create ownership by calling dibs. Either man may respectfully introduce himself. Case closed.

REMEDY

Dibs are not a land deed. Keep it respectful and let her choose.
