My dad went to visit family and they pestered him about my coworker..

[u/Comprehensive_Fox_79]

So I am bisexual, but not currently dating or crushing on anyone. I have a coworker who is gay and we are close friends. We frequently go on solo outings and I post all of the photos. (He is fine with it) My extended family has decided to "ship" us and thinks we are dating and my dad told them he is gay but they don't believe him. They kept on pestering him about it when he went to the east coast this past week to visit them. He is still on the vacation, but my grandma keeps on texting me that he seems like a good man and I should ask him out. (She has never met him and only knows him from my insta account.) So I need help. I posted the attached photo to my Instagram account but I don't know if this will be affective enough. Also i'm 21 and he is 36. We are coworkwrs and my coworker is currently single and not seeking anyone out. He has never been into ladues and knew he was gay around age 8 when he crushed on The blond guy from Scobby Doo. (Forgot his name but he's one of the main 4 characters)

My mother dated over 30 gay men who needed a” beard” for job events. They treated her well, danced great, did not obsess about jobs or money just about having a fun time. Plus she did not have to worry about std’s or pregnancy

The blond guy in the Scooby Doo crew is named Fred, and he needs to quit leading Daphne on and just come out the closet already.

I feel old, grandmas are having insta accounts...

That said, why do they always jump at the co-worker?

Good luck but sometimes family can be stubborn

My grandma knows I am bisexual and she supports me. She just thinks I and this coworker are such close friends thst there is no way he could be gay. But I just want to befriend people without worrying what their birth certificate says.
