Shouldn't married women or for that matter married men be allowed to ask people they work with or are friends with to have lunch or perhaps to dinner (their spouses included) without it implying to either party than an affair is desired? Perhaps I was reading more into the comments here than was really intended, but I sure received the impression that the three married women who asked you out were only after ONE thing, that being an affair--If they indeed made their desires known before hand than I feel you were justified in your reactions, but if not maybe you missed out on some good friendships--I would have no hesitation about accepting a lunch date with a married man with whom I work, that may make me terribly naive but I hope not, I would go to the lunch and then if the man were after more I would turn down future invitations--I can't help thinking that a lunch invitation would just mean the start of a friendship rather than an affair-
