So I met an older guy who happens to be British, complete with accent *swoon*

Anyway, there's been solid eye contact, giggling, flirting and sharing of phone numbers and asking about weekend plans etc. He always compliments what I'm wearing telling me I look great or nice.

I thought I saw a wedding band so I backed off but when asked if he had done anything for memorial day with family he said no he was just working. I haven't seen the ring since. The flirtation has been ongoing for about a month. He's asked my age and if I was single and continues what I thought was intense flirting.

TBH I was just looking for a ONS with this guy and nothing more. So I texted him for the first time asking if he had plans and he called me cheeky. I've always associated cheeky as a negative thing?

Did I read the signals wrong or was his flirtation just for fun and I missed the memo?

Well, Cambridge Dictionary describe that word as slightly rude or showing no respect, but often in a funny way.
cheeky adjective - definition in the British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionaries Online (US)
Could be a British slang explained here:

Who knows what he really meant. I think, he is flirty. Find out if he is married - you would know more about his character. But for ONS, I am afraid - you don't care.

Thanks. Some sites defined it as flirty or sexy others as flippant, rude and disrespectful. It was a bit shocking. I chose not to respond at all.

I had intended to ask him out for drinks and ask directly if he was married but we haven't gone out yet. I guess I could ask the next time we cross paths whenever that may be. I do care if he's married, but what I think matters less than what he thinks. Besides I've met many a swinger, polyamorous or open relationship guy or gal and they all wear rings. Just saying. Lol

If all you want is a ONS what makes the difference to you if he's married or not?

Seems your standards are quite low anyway.

Having a ONS doesn't mean I have low standards. I have an itch I'm looking to scratch.

I still respect marriage for those who enter into it. I'd prefer to not be involved with a married guy, but ultimately he made the vow, not I. Only he can vouch for his own level of commitment, if he's even married.

Is this the long winded way of saying I'll screw who I want to as long as they do it for me?

i flirt with girls all the time, its in my nature to do so. if the girl responds positively, then we have a good time with it. if she doesnt, then i back off and stop flirting.

as for being cheeky, that depends on the context. it can mean many things, from high or low balling someone on price, to being a bit rude, to being a bit bold.

Lol, yes, it sure does sound like you really do respect marriage ...
Why would you ask or care whether he's married if it ultimately doesn't really matter to you?

That's just what she said because she's a horrible liar. She really doesn't care.

Cheeky is negative from what I understand so I would not equal that to flirting

Here's an idea, why not ask him if he is married before you ask him for drinks? Just saying.

Go to a bar to find a guy to scratch your itch or buy a vibrator.

If you really preferred not to be involved with someone who is married then you would do all you could to find out beforehand if they are actually married.
He may have to "vouch" for his level of commitment but you appear to be the one who is tossing her tatas in his face to see if he'll give them a whirl.
