Tom Lasky... Straight but married to his job. It's at least implied he's had brief relationships but really, he's too focused on his duties for it to go anywhere.
Having said that... OMG the UST between him and Palmer is both subtlety played but could be cut with a knife. Roland even remarks on it when comparing himself to Palmer.
Headcanon time... IMHO part of why he doesn't relationship well is all the baggage he carries around. And he takes professionalism extremely seriously.
Tom Jackman... Is Claire-sexual a legitimate answer?
He literally lives with another woman for almost a year and never gives her a sideways glance. It takes someone telling him flat out that she's crushing on him before he notices... he's exactly that clueless.
I'm leaning Omnisexual for Billy... which differs from Pansexual in that gender absolutely matters. Women are his thing... He absolutely prefers women.
But he's so over sexed and sensation seeking that I don't think he'd completely discount anyone else.
Not just sexually... but he definitely gets around. He enjoys everything about hooking up. The only exception is during his time with Mrs. Peel.
He still flirted... But flirt is his basically his default setting. He loves making women smile, but if they don't want that sort of attention he backs off immediately.
Armchair psych time but IMHO he's suffering from at minimum Complicated Bereavement Disorder and probably other issues. He's functional because he's obsessively focused on his work.
I don't remember exactly what season, but I loved that Epsilon gave me evidence to retroactively back that up.
But... it's also complicated so...
Not interested... it's annoying and a little creepy when people try.

I don't think he was entirely joking when he told Syme 'you either'
A week is an eternity for him.
He's out there trying everything because everything is new and he's so easily bored.

He doesn't treat women as conquests and he's absolutely able to have non sexual, close friendships with women.
He doesn't sulk or press when he's told no.
I put him on the Nope spectrum.
