On the other end, I go to our training group, which consists almost entirely of women my age, whether or not Lauren can make it. I consider them all friends and I hang out with them both with and without Lauren. Heck I've even had drinks with a couple of them before.
I just don't think I should have to make sure I'm not alone with guys so that people won't get the "wrong idea" or to "not put myself in a situation." It's just... offensive. It's just like saying "oh, John is gay so he's going to try to flirt with EVERY GUY because once you're gay it's just how you are."
If I'm bisexual/pansexual, I hope my SO doesn't expect me to never be alone with someone other than my SO.
Although I would understand if you don't want to be alone with a colleague outside of work, then you might have to fight off the gossip with a crowbar.
Unless you're all just into men dressed in cat costumes. I won't judge you! :lol-sign:
