I mean that in the friendliest of all possible terms, LOL, and this isn't something I'd necessarily say to someone who isn't used to being funny and bantering. But really. Something's up if women are reflexively closing off and protecting themselves against you when you're a third of the way across the room.

Ouch! Well, I don't mean to be creepy. Maybe I could practice in the mirror for more seductive. Lol!!

Now HERE'S something I'm sitting on my hands not to answer. Just...sitting on my hands.
Haha! You still have a nose. Go on.... Do it!!!

Yes, you, funymann, noticing that women pull their sweaters shut is tantamount to the OP noticing that he is twirling his wedding ring....................-D)) Are you really looking into their eyes, only?

Anything is possible, but only one thing is definite:

The OP needs to stay away from this married man and away from any twirling thoughts.

This would be the first thing I would think if a co-worker played with his wedding ring only when around me.

I would be wondering if he is taking my good ole Southern hospitality the wrong way.

Would you yank your sweater closed?

I'm getting a visual of some bizarre ASL-style dueling-banjos dance between a guy and girl at work. Maybe they'd be doing this to Flight of the Bumblebee...he twirls his ring, she yanks her sweater, he pulls his head back and points the tips of his toes away from her, she brushes his arm and pulls back coyly, he reflexively pulls his shoulders in............

But it could go the other way, that he wishes it weren't there! No?....:-)
I would buntly ask him...'why are you twirling your ring when you talk with me?"

Well I have never been in such a situation...just the opposite...men who hide their wedding rings, while in my presence. LOL!
