Since I am married, I think of me flirting with another woman as betrayal. At least, open, obvious and intentional flirting. The kind where you imply you're open to the possibility.
On the other hand....
I think it's totally ok to compliment a woman (or man) in a way appropriate to their relationship to you. My best gauge for such a situation is, if I am sure my wife wouldn't be bothered by it if she were present, it's probably ok.
However --
Things sure got easier once I got married. For me, and from me. It seemed when I was single, it was very hard to be sure my polite behavior wasn't seen as bumbling flirtation, even from my end. When a woman was VERY nice to me, I wasn't sure if she was flirting or just fishing for a compliment. Now that I am married, it's a pretty safe bet that the ring on my finger ensures a lot of it stays tame. It's just an awkward kind of thing I don't need to think about any more.

this tread is 
There are people in my workplace that are incredibly flirtatious... But I don't think they realize they are flirting.

We should make that our forum motto.

I'm thinking her hubby must have gotten at least one sugar packet... maybe more...She's hurting, hubby left her for the waitress that was only being nice and flirting a bit to get a larger tip.

Ask libby how many sugar packets her hubby got.
I think he liked mine the best.
I think that Naturally some people have a very flirtatious personality... I am one of those... and so is the hubby... But we NEVER go out without each other, and we rarely go out anyways.
Think it just depends on what you as a serious relationship put importance on... Some people are pretty judgmental when it comes to things like this but a lot of times family and friends wont care because that is just how someone is... It really can be a personality thing ... especially since most of the time we do not even know we are doing it until someone points it out. (Normally someone who does not know us etc.... )
I Think it also depends on whether or not you are randomly talking to someone you will never see again, and if there is alcohol involved... Alcohol automatically seems to make most people louder, not just in verbal but in nonverbal language as well... Sorry about your wife though.. that sucks...

Resurrection Of A 3-Year-Old Tred
Guess this particular age-old question is yet to be definitvely answered, huh?
I did find this.....
Clair Huxtable (Character) - Quotes
"The Cosby Show: Cliff in Love (#2.4)" (1985)
[while Elvin waits for Sondra, Clair offers coffee for him and Cliff; Elvin is surprised]
Elvin Tibideaux: I'm sorry, Mrs. Huxtable, I didn't think you did that kind of thing.
Clair Huxtable: What kind of thing?
Elvin Tibideaux: You know... serve.
Clair Huxtable: Serve whom?
Elvin Tibideaux: [indicating Cliff] Serve him.
Clair Huxtable: [with a tense smile] Oh, serve *him*. As in "serve your man"?
Elvin Tibideaux: Well, yeah.
Clair Huxtable: [now visibly indignant] Let me tell you something, Elvin. You see, I am not "serving" Dr. Huxtable, okay?
Elvin Tibideaux: Okay.
Clair Huxtable: That's the kind of thing that goes on in a restaurant. Now I am going to bring him a cup of coffee just like he brought me a cup of coffee this morning. And *that*, young man, is what marriage is made of: it is give-and-take fifty-fifty. And if you don't get it together, and drop these macho attitudes, you are never gonna have anybody bringing you anything anywhere any place any time EVER.
[pauses, then smiles graciously]
Clair Huxtable: Now, what would you like in your coffee?
Elvin Tibideaux: [shaken] Maybe I can get *you* some coffee.
Clair Huxtable: Elvin, that's alright. I don't mind getting it. But thanks for offering.
[Clair takes the tray to the kitchen; Elvin slowly sits down and looks at Cliff, scared]
Cliff: Elvin?
Elvin Tibideaux: Yes, sir?
Cliff: When she brings the coffee back, if I were you, I wouldn't drink it.
