Either he will be or he will not be. You won't offend him.

You also will not know what his sexual orientation is, unless he takes you up on it AND gets into a relationship with your friend.

How's that for straightforward minus all the games?
I think this would be the best way to go about it. While I do agree with some of the others about it not really being your business, if you think he is a nice guy and you have friends who may match up well with him that is another situation.

My uncle was like this. I remember when I was a little girl I thought it was just so odd that he had never been married or had any children.

Really in these days, it isn't so odd, but in those days, it was. I also grew up in a family full of married people with children.

He got married to a woman when he was 52 and they had a daughter a few years later. She has since past and he raised the daughter from age 12 on. I would venture to say that she is his world.

I guess sometimes we just never know. He also has a set of twin brothers who were each married with children and one of them ended up gay.

It's none of your business if he is gay or not. So he like to play golf and have a few drinks after. Guess what, millions of guys like to do that.

Who cares? I'd be mortified if I found out I worked someplace where co-workers were speculating about my sexual orientation and personal life, just because I'm single. Back off.

Some reasons why he's single

1) he's gay
2) he's extremely shy when it comes to dating
3) he's afraid of getting divorced and losing half his assets
4) the women he's attracted to won't date him
5) he's used to being single for so long why change it now
6) he's secretly using escorts or sugar babes/gigolos

So this guy is 56, golfs every week and goes out drinking with his buddies?


Please explain how this is bad?

Or maybe he has hot, wild monkey-sex with a woman he's been seeing and just doesn't want to discuss his private life with his co-workers. Some people are like that.

He probably came out on the loosing end of trying to date women who were playing the field.
