Just curious after someone with a wedding band on got right up in my face, smiled, said hi, winked and walked off. Was that a flirt?

Not always. Old timers used to wink when they were "being bad," but not flirting. Also sometimes people just do it when they are playing. Look at it in context & personality.

No. I wink at some people (male and female) in friendly gesture.

I don't know them so I haven't a clue on personality. Mid-40's person. I admit when they walked into room I smiled & glanced at them because they are super hot. Was the wink saying they could tell I like them?

Oh, sometimes my winks mean the above, too. Come to think of it, I've never winked at a man to flirt.

Not enough info. I don't know if this is a woman winking at a man, a woman winking at a woman, a man winking at a woman or a man winking at another man. So, it is hard for me to come up with any meaningful comment. If you're both 20 year old boys, I'd be worried...

Well how on Earth is someone suppose to interpret a wink? I mean how can you tell what is friendly and what is a flirt? Seriously its like we are expected to read each other's mind.

If you're trying to decipher a wink from someone you don't know, you must like the person. If you didn't, you wouldn't give it a second thought. Sounds like you see this person around, but you don't hang with them which is why you don't know their personality. Am I correct?

My guess is the wink was meant to be a good thing. How good? Who knows. I will say that winkers don't do it at people they dislike. Period.

My opinion: a wink is always super creepy

I once found myself standing next to JFK jr in a small car rental preferred booth. We talked a bit and then when he went leave he said" it was nice talking to you" and then he smiled and winked at me. It definitely felt flirtacious. I think a wink tends to be considered flirting but in context it may means something else.
