On the contrary, it could be quite insulting, given the proper example. 
Take for instance the following context. We run into each other and 
strike up a conversation. You are only being friendly. I on the other
hand assume its because you are totally enamored with me and 
find me irresistable. So I figure I better start mentioning
my SO just to slow you down a little. Now I would take this
bit of presumptiousness as being quite rude showing an oversized 
ego on my part. Or wouldn't you mind being treated like that?
