Hey for a guy who doesn't get hit on a whole lot when it happens its sort of a huh wtf moment. Especially when its so blatant. Its not like I get hit on every day.
I can think of 3 times in the past that I have blatantly hit on married men (didn't know beforehand that they were married) and all 3 reacted like they were absolutely dumbstruck. This perplexed me too. I can only guess that this is because they never get hit on, and maybe felt attracted to me and didn't know what to do with all these feelings.
Nowadays, I think before I flirt with someone (which is rare anyway, I'm bad at it) and would find out if they are taken before opening my mouth.
She was just talking too much and you are making a completely different story of it.
Maybe she just REALLY needed to sell you the carpet to get Christmas bonus?
No you don't get it. I had already purchased the carpet. I was just there to sign the work release so their contractor had the ok from the warehouse to have the carpet delivered to them so I don't get charged the pick up fee. She wasn't my initial sales person. That was a old guy who sold me the carpet. And no he didn't hit on me. Either way this just proves men will never get what women are thinking or doing. Because it's probably the exact opposite of what we men think it is

It's all because you are an electrician. She was hoping she could get some free work out of you. She has some projects she could use your help on. Sockets and plugs and ground flow interrupters. And such.
Yeah that's a possibility. We just switched to these damn orange shirts at work and when I go into Home Depot people always come up to me asking for help. The best is at Lowes. I get anlornof double takes and people look around and you know they are thinking am I at homedepot or lowes.
A woman (customer) at HD was inquiring about the goods for the electric fence I was buying. Asking me what I planned on using it for and if I was going to install it myself. She was a dark haired beauty with two kids and I told her I needed the fence to keep the wife in the yard. She actually saw the humor in that.

How do you do that?
"Excuse me, are you married or otherwise involved in a relationship because I would really like to flirt with you."
I have advised more then one women that was looking to meet a fellow, that the big box hardware stores were full of men customers. Just stand around looking at something and if a guy that looks good to you passes by, step out and ask do you know anything about this thingy. Something simple like a power strip in the electrical department.
I had a male friend that said he "met" women sales clerks in a nice, major department store. He chats them up about something.
I know another male that looks for women that appeal to him checking out at Walmart/Target/etc. He buys something small. Gets in line behind one and starts up a conversation. If it goes no where he says.....oops I forgot something. Gets out of line, wanders the store for a few minutes then tries another line.
As far as the married, etc. questions, they come after the initial smile, say hello, make nice, get a reply, chat some, etc. Relationships 101. It is not like you are on a date. Easy to say thanks, nice meeting you, etc. and bye.

You'd be surprised how difficult this is for a lot of the guys on this forum. Quite a few have said they'd never be able to do that. But how you describe is exactly how it's done. Too bad more men don't do this.

I glance at the ring finger of most women that I talk to (that I am attracted to).
Now, not all married people have rings (I found that out).
I can see how some people are not comfortable wearing a ring on their finger. However, I'd rather they had it on so that I know just in case I find myself flirting with someone who is spoken for.
It's not whether or not the man is going to stomp on me, it is a certain code I have.
Ring on Finger: Never mind.
No Ring on Finger: Maybe.
