Lol, my partner and I don't wear rings, but if you're interested in her she'll let you know to drop it.

Exactly, there are lots of social cues at play in these situations besides a ring. It’s no different than the way someone who is unmarried but in a committed relationship lets people know not to bother.

This is tedious for someone receiving frequent attention.
