This happened to me an hour ago. I asked the closest worker a question and she immediately stated that she was married but my question was where is the bathroom at? I wasn't even trying to hit on her. I think many women's (not all) ego is so blown up they think every man who asks her a question is hitting on her when in reality many men aren't.
Try asking where the bathroom is without the 'come hither' look and she won't think to mention her marital status.
That is the only way your scenario sounds plausible to me.
Exactly. There IS confusion in male-to-female interaction, particularly if it's two people who don't really know each other very well yet. There just is. So there DO need to be some indicators that will tell a person, "Sorry, taken."
A wedding ring takes care of that for married people who wish to wear one, but what about people who aren't married but simply have an SO? What about people who don't have an SO but aren't sure they want one at the moment...? And so on.
I don't know what people are expecting. Yes, some "put the brakes on" method must be employed if a person is getting "that feeling" of being flirted with. Perhaps the person will be wrong about that feeling. But so what? That shouldn't matter if the other person really DIDN'T have designs in mind. Right?
Methinks there's a lot of covering up in this thread on some people's parts for actually deep-down trying to flirt/wishing the person was flirting back, and there is ego rebuff flying around here like confetti.

All I did was ask her a question how is this my fault? There was no come hither look at all. I know it sounds weird but men can actually talk to a woman without hitting her.
Unless it was his first day it would make no sense. Who doesn't know where the john is at work?
It would have to be someone unknown to him, otherwise he would already know if they were married or not, unless he works in a bubble and knows nothing about the lives of his colleagues.
The exchange is hilarious though, when you think about it:
49er: "Excuse me miss, which way to the restroom?"
49er's female colleague: "Sorry 49er, I'm married. It's the second right down the hall."

In this tale, I think the premise is that he went to a local museum on his lunch break, and when he asked a museum worker where the bathroom is, she blurted out her marital status before directing him.
I can't believe the tried and true "Where's the bathroom?" line didn't work this time.

I count on that from the entire male population, not just you.
I don't know where I said anything was your fault. I merely stated the only plausible way your story makes sense. Stop being paranoid.

It's the way you said it and don't tell me what to do please and thanks. I didn't do anything wrong.
