"Because I'm Married"

We have all been there.. some guy wants to get your attention and he makes half a fool of himself trying to show off in front of you and oddly enough you think its cute or at least moderately flattering that he is trying.  One of these odd situation happened to me today, followed by an even stranger comment.  Here is how it played out...

I was at work, in an area where I don't usually frequent but where I am still known, and a man was helping me to take some needed photos.  He was helpful, and in some ways overly helpful to enable me to get what shots I needed.  The awkward moment happened when I moved to take an angled picture of one item and he commented "Why did you move away from me to take that picture?  Is moving nearer to me so bad?"  My response: "I moved this way because I would be standing on you otherwise".  He continued, "Well, you can't do that." I ask why... his response "Because we are both married and that would be a hard one to explain you standing on me wearing that skirt."

WTF....Since when did taking a photo and avoiding standing on someone's toes turn into an invitation to flirt?!?  The response also "Because we are both married" is the same as saying that if he or I were NOT married that something would BE OK about this situation?  I brushed it off with a slight smile, eyebrow raise, and a turn away to the next photo.

Men, here is a word of advice.  If you are going to flirt with someone at work whom you know is married then first decide 1) do you want to seem desperate for attention regardless of the repercussions, and 2) do you want to look like a fool having no restraint on your tongue or hormones.  If you answer Yes to either of these, proceed and you shall have your due consequences.  If you answered No to either of these then think twice about saying whatever tacky line that is creeping to the end of your tongue and instead keep your mouth shut.  A smile is sufficient, thanks.
