If you're a living breathing adult and seem to have any conversation skills, issues outside of work and related to family most certainly do come up at the work place, just some causal mention of they have to pick up little Johnny today from soccer practice or things of the like, then that of course dovetails into other 'family' related issues... can't see how it couldn't otherwise.. I'm not saying people waste tons of time doing it, but surely a hint or reference here and there comes up......
To say that stuff never never comes up is just borderline ludicris......
when people say they don't discuss personal stuff at work it could mean they are afraid how the info could be perceived or used by other workers. discussing personal life means taking a risk and taking a risk like that can be perilous if its done with controlling people, dependent people, narcissistic people, competitive people. but im sure we all know how nice it feels when we can and do discuss personal lives with those who will not repeat it.

I think you're confusing the ability to talk about one's personal life at work with the choice to. It only comes up if you bring it up. Nothing ludicris (sic) about it.

Who cares? Are you interested in him??
Obviously he choose NOT to be "fixed up" or get married...
Why person can't just stay single without people wondering about sexual orientation?
No kidding. The guy probably gets more Azz than a toilet seat but is discreet and has some class.
Why are you concerning yourself with who he dates, when or if he dates, or his sexual orientation? Perhaps hes uncomfortable disclosing the personal details of his life bc of people who are too meddling or nosy

No sir... I am responding directly to a couple of posters that said and acted like casual talk at work never happens.....
Nothing to do with the choice to talk about personal affairs... which I think a little small talk is fine, I don't want a complete rundown of my coworkers affairs...
I was simply responding to a couple of posters that said that they never talk or hear others talk about personal, non-work stuff at work.... that in of itself, is what I meant by being "ludicrous".........
ive never heard him talk of a special woman in his life (or man for that matter) and at first i tbougbt he was just very private; but after four years Im thinking this co-worker is gay....the guy is about 56 and his only interest seems to be golf once a week and then a drinkfest after with his buddies at the club what do you think gay or no gay?
Like other posters have said, it's not your business, and he''s probably single for a reason- so he can golf once a week, and have a drinkfest with his buddies at the club without somebody ******ing about it.He's a smart man, he's learnt the secret to happiness
In fact, OP post describes me perfectly, with the exception I am female. And choose right now not to have/want/need a male in my life.
