Dear Hot Chick: Is it wrong to leave a phone number with someone without asking if she's married? Or should I have asked her what her marital status is before I left it? ~ Digit-ize-her
Hold onto that telephonic code, cowboy - at least until you've popped the question.
Since no one likes to wear their prison rings anymore, it's hard to tell if someone is contractually bound to another human being or single. There may have been a time when one glance at the ring finger would tell you that most important piece of info, but not anymore. Whether it's because they forgot it, don't like to wear it to work or the gym or because it doesn't go with their single and creeping outfit, you will find a lot of married peeps don't sport their rings.
Which makes it uber hard for those who have the balls to make a move.
I'm sure there are 'valid' reasons for falsely advertising their status, but it doesn't hurt to ask just in case. That way, if something unfortunate should happen like getting walked in on by the spouse, then you're covered under the "holy s#!$, I didn't know" protection clause - which exempts you from douchebag status.
Or, later on, when he/she is spinning a well-exaggerated story about how you are a douchebag who doesn't respect the sanctity of marriage ... well, you can call him/her out for the hooker they are because they didn't tell you.
Win.
