[quote=Anonymous]I do not always wear my wedding band when engaged in certain work and/or activities; but I am a longtime married woman, and always manage to work that fact into conversations with people I meet.

(I have never cheated throughout our marriage, and would never consider doing so with another person who is married, or otherwise attached, even if I were single/divorced.  DH has cheated on me several times, very private information which I do not share.)

I recently attended a party where a very personable and attractive man was also not wearing his wedding band, though he similarly made it clear in our conversation that he has been married for many years.  I had never met him before, and neither of our spouses was in attendance.

Surprisingly, because I am generally quite introverted and reserved, we struck up a nice conversation with a very subtle, flirtatious undercurrent (easy conversation, smiles, sustained eye contact, handshakes that lingered, names remembered) that carried on throughout the evening.  I definitely felt a little spark or chemistry, and must admit that I found the interaction quite enjoyable.

It might be more appropriate to characterize such interactions as 'genuine human connections', and not necessarily overt flirtations (as they can be rather chaste or old-fashioned in nature); which leave us energized and recharged because such in-person connections are increasingly rare, but oh-so lovely.   (Though I do deceive myself into thinking it was something special, as successful men often make a habit of winning people over with their charm.)[/quote]
