I don't tell my coworkers anything about my life.

Squatting_Slav · Accepted Answer

I don't tell anyone anything about my love life.

AviatorTom · Answer

I have a few close guy friends that I work with, who we sometimes share "interesting" stories. It's what guys do.

ManOnFire · Answer

Definitely NOT my co-workers. I don't tell them who I date at all, they are already nosy and gossipy as it is.

GuyAnswersGirls123 · Answer

Generally not. I don't really talk about much besides work with my colleagues.

Actually I'm kind of annoying about it even when we met in the office and had lunch or dinner together during our business trips.

They usually want to talk about something else but I just want to talk about our work, design ideas, things we could potentially work on. I'm that guy that can't stop talking about work with colleagues since there's so much we can do and I find it interesting.

My colleagues usually talk more about personal things or nerdy things like talking about the capabilities of the latest iPhone or video games or something like that. I just want to talk about our software.

Purpleronnie · Answer

I wouldn’t tell a co worker ANYTHING about my love-life. I think many people make the mistake of over-sharing in work and treating colleagues like confidants with the deepest of friendships. Doing this at a workplace blur’s the lines also. I think if a colleague relationship is to develop into friendship it should be done outside of work space and time but I say choose those people very very carefully as not everyone’s motives are supportive or friendly

HawkPerception · Answer

That's how people bond. By sharing what's going on in their lives. It doesn't mean we're hitting on you. It's something you can tell guys or girls.

If it's said to a girl in a way that implies that they're open to date, then it could potentially mean they're hitting on the girl though.

NathanDavis · Answer

I usually don't tell anything to anybody... unless that for some reason, they do ask and I find it pertinent to share SOME, not all my love life

but this is something I do with friends... rather than coworkers, maybe if my coworkers are close friends of mine, but that hasn't happened before, lol

Sevenpointfive · Answer

that's actually pretty common. when you are in a relationship your world is that love life and there is nothing else to talk about. i personally don't have this experience, but i've experienced many, many other woman that it's the topic of conversation. it's not even like i hit on them. it's their world.

DarkWinterNights · Answer

I put out a very sterilized front of my personal life to coworkers. I mention trips I go on, some projects that I work on, or occasionally mention friends, family & pets. Politics, personal relationships, controversial hobbies or opinions should be kept to yourself at work. For one that’s not really professional, but it can also be used against you if you piss someone off.

Fuentes · Answer

U should why wouldn't u do that? I mean u don't need to be in detail but u should tell others if ur taken or not. Especially if ur trying to build any sort of relationship with them whether it's friendly or dating to set up boundaries from the gate.

JacobJordan · Answer

Something that annoyed many co-workers in my 20s was the fact I didn't say anything. Everyone thought I was single. The first inkling they got that I was in a relationship was when I came back from vacation with a ring on my finger.

EDR44 · Answer

I dont tell most coworkers anything because they are not your friends and this personal information can backfire on you in the future. It's best to keep things simple and private at work

rosemilk · Answer

absolutely not. they don't need to know anything about me. i barely tell my friends.

superchan2011 · Answer

No I usually don't share my personal life with my coworkers unless I have a friendship already established with one.

Kinkyhubby · Answer

I keep my current sex life quiet, I may talk about woman I dated, but even that Is rare. It's no one business, what I do behind close doors. Or how kinky I like to be.

AlexEfron · Answer

I don't. I don't like mingling my private life with my professional life.  I generally avoid interacting with people at work, unless I have to.

RavVid · Answer

I suppose co workers are unconnected and fairly safe to tell.

itsclearlynicholas · Answer

It was quite common in my previous fast food job lol 😜😆

Peridot25 · Answer

I have no love life. So there’s really nothing for me to tell 😂

I don't tell them anything, nor do I have a desire to

RossyBoi · Answer

I would, especially considering I don't have a love life, or coworkers either.

LunarEclipse433 · Answer
