Not so. Though I'm shy, I've always been a little bolder than most women about going for what I want and I've finally come to the conclusion that if a man isn't asking me out, it's because he doesn't want to go out with me. I've also learned that if he doesn't reject my invitation, but he's not interested, it will become very obvious very soon and make for a most uncomfortable date and rejection would have been easier than slogging thru a date with a man who doesn't want to be with me.
This conclusions may not be accurate. Some men may be too shy to ask you out, even though they like you. Some may be afraid that you are out of their league and they assume that you would reject them.
It is funny that you should mention ring. I know that's the first thing women check. I don't know about other men, but I almost always fail to check for ring (I think its a male thing).
Yes, I am better off without my ex. Every day that passes I feel more and more confident that I dodged a bullet by not marrying her.
I'm a male, and I always check for a ring when I'm into someone. Even the newswomen on TV.

One of my male friends noticed my engagement ring before my girlfriends did! I guess ever since then I just expect all men to notice my rings and therefore know that I'm married with out me having to say anything. Well, that definitely has not been the case. Then again - even after I have told some men that I am married (or engaged or involved - as was the case previously) they were not deterred. Like I said - I'm a very outgoing, friendly, flirty woman - I know sometimes I might accidentally send out "signals" unintentionally.

I guess some of them noticed the ring, but didn't care. They must have thought that they were such a great catch that you'd have an affair with them.

I don't think it was that I was such a great catch... I think they were thinking more in terms of the short term! When I told them I was married - some of them said, "I don't care!" And I said - "Well, I do!!!"

Oh, no, they probably thought they were such a great catch that you'd risk everything to be with them. They were not correct.

Right, that's what I was hoping when I then asked them out but then I've been turned down, so I'd say that's pretty much a huge clue that they weren't into me. Even with my great beauty and sophistication, some men just aren't into me. Imagine! So, as you can see, even with being rejected, my self esteem is still intact.
