This random guy at my job asked me out and when I asked my other coworkers what type of person he was, he found out and got upset that asked other

People about him. He's more than likely hiding a lot right?

I wouldn't be upset if someone asked othera about me.
"What is she like?"
"What kind of worker is she?"
"What does she like"?

All seems fine to me.
@rosyhills Fair enough, but you also chose pretty standard, beige queries.

I don't know if the poster asked those questions, but they could have been more pointed and revealing (both as questions and answers).

For instance, how would you feel if you'd asked a male work colleague out and he went around the workplace saying, "Nikki asked me out on a date; what do you know about how she treats her dates? Is she good gf material?"

Those would be a very different level of questions, right? Would you like your prospective date to find out about you via office rumors or experience you--and the two of you together--for himself, making his own observations ("Gosh, I didn't realize how funny she is and what a warm laugh she has; and she knows so much about <whatever>!") and drawning his own conclusions ("She is really fun and interesting, as well as lovely; I want to get to know her better.")...?

@SomeMichGuy sure, depends on what was asked, like you said. If people said [negative answer] it would give you an opportunity to ask the person and would give the person a chance to clear it up.
I bet some people WISH they had asked others about the father/mother of their child or about their spouse beforehand, to get some insight.

Again, I would give a person a chance to clear up misconceptions, vecause a lot of times that's what it is, misconceptions
@rosyhills Agreed.

But how about missed conceptions...m lmao
Not necessarily, no.
Ask the FBI about missing persons and shallow graves.

Or maybe he's a shy, private person and just doesn't want everyone in his business. That's not a bad thing.

Possibly or just feeling insulted and degraded.

@Iwillwait how is this degrading?🥺
Iwillwait · M
@Lulujeans He may felt as though you were unsure of untrusting, which could possibly seem degrading.
Oh great, now he has to hate half the office if they gave bad references.

Ask if it's past his bedtime.. Clearly he's not grown. Or hiding something.

If u like him, go out with him. If not, don’t. 🙄
🤷 Put yourself in his shoes. How would you feel?

Either insecure or hiding something.
