All of them? The data would indicate that you know a rather skewed sample of young people, if that's the case.

Good for him! I never discuss my dating/sex life with my coworkers. It's none of their business. Unless they happen to catch me out on a date (which has happened two or three times), they have no idea. Even then, they have no idea of my status with the person they see me out with.

The OP has made me realize that some of my coworkers have probably thought I was gay, though that's a funny assumption to make about a single person in this day and age when gay people can get married and straight people often remain single.

Personally, I would probably not go out with a woman a coworker set me up with, for the simple fact that if/when it ends, I'm then stuck working with my ex's friend.

I sure hope you don't date.

Every guy will be thought of as gay by someone at some point. I am only 28 and haven't had very many long term relationships so I must be gay lol.

Or, imagine this, have an amicable divorce.
Without attorneys.

Did you know it's 2013? Times have changed and people aren't expected to get married like they were in the 1950s or whatever decade you came out of. Also, what's it to you if he's gay or not?

Maybe he is simply curious.

5) he's used to being single for so long why change it now
6) he's secretly using escorts or sugar babes/gigolos
My guess a combo of #5 and #6
No strings attached sex with young pretty women.

How old are your friends?

While I don't necessarily share his outlook on marriage, you do realize that plenty of people date without intending to marry, right? There's nothing wrong with that, as long as everyone is honest about what they're looking for.
