Nice try

Today, I tried to flirt with the supermarket cashier by saying, “Guess I’m buying enough food for two!” She smiled politely and said, “That’s nice. Will your wife help you carry it?” I said, “What wife?” only to realize I’d just exposed myself as a lonely man buying family-sized frozen lasagna. FML

Maybe she was flirting back and using that as a way to see if you were married or single!?

That's what I did in my flirting days; work the spouse into the conversation. For example, "Is your wife in the military, too?" Or, conversely, if someone is sniffing around, I'd say, "My husband is blah blah blah too!" Yeah, not subtle, but it works.
