 Bad habit. Some crack their knuckles a lot, some toy with their hair. We all have annoying little habits that we aren't even aware that we are doing. His, I would guess is playing with his wedding ring.
I would just one day ask him straight up if he isn't worried he might lose the ring.

But, it was just so distracting--couldn't help but notice. Yes, probably a combo of too much caffiene and he not used to wearing a band due to his profession. Strange, people should really videotape themselves when they are talking! thought the ring was going to fly across the room at any minute!,

What you need to keep focussed on is that he is married. I think you are looking for some other meaning here because you are interested in him. Leave him alone - he belongs to someone else.

Certainly not interested in anyone else if ur thinking hes interested in you. If he was he wouldnt have worn his ring.

It doesnt mean anything. And alot of guys do that because it is uncomfortable. I know my dad doesnt wear his because it hurts his finger and it swells.

 Do you make him nervous? It could be a sign that he likes you.....

 It was either too uncomfortable for the situation he was in(i.e. he wishes he wasn't married at that time) or he just likes to mess around with it. In isolation the single act of taking it off really doesn't "mean" much.

 I agree, it means nothing...he's probably just a fidget.
He wouldn't wear a ring if he intended to cheat.

My dad is very fidgety and he's taking his wedding ring off all the time. He also frequently spins it, like a top.
I think you're trying to read too much into this. It is most likely nothing.

I know some people that are fidgety and will do that to keep their hands busy, often without even realizing it. Especially if it's loose, my husband will fiddle with it, maybe partly as reassurance that it's still there. I don't think it means much at all. If you're wondering if he was hinting that he is not in a happy marriage, I don't think that's it. If he were looking to look outside of his marriage, he would simply have not worn his ring.
