She asked me if I liked her. Best response?

[Anonymous]

I used to work with this girl a few months ago and I would always be flirty with her but not be serious about it because she has a boyfriend. I'm not one to invest in a chick that's already taken unless I know for sure she's interested. She left from my job after but I kept in touch with her via texting just to keep her around my orbit. One day I texted her and after a few flirty remarks, she randomly asked me if I liked her because I'm always saying stuff like that.

As said before, I'm not one to chase a girl whose already taken and I actually just like her as a friend. But I wouldn't mind taking her to bed either.

Any suggestions on how to respond back?

As you seem to know already, you do not want to tell her "Yes". An intriguing answer would either avoid the question e.g. "Why do you ask?" or contradict your flirting behaviour e.g. "I like you as a friend ".

If she asked that she could well be interested in you. Be careful not to text her too much without progressing the seduction.

I just want to expand upon this. If you are up to date with the blog, you'll know that Chase has been very specific about texting girls. Basically don't text for anything except getting a date. It does seem counter-intuitive not to make use of a line of communication, but you should keep this in mind as an ideal.

I appreciate the help. I actually wanted to reply with "Sorry I don't date married women", just to confuse her some more (she's not married but she might as well be). lol But I stuck with your suggestion Penguin. And yes Jarradical, I seldom use text unless it's to meet up (as per Chase's advice) but it's the Christmas season and I just wanted to greet her.

My plan now is to disappear for a bit to build on that intrigue (and approach other women). And then follow up with her a few weeks later for some one-on-one interaction.We'll see how this goes.

Thanks guys!

"Sorry I don't date married women"

That one is good for two reasons:
1. It uses Chase's push-pull idea by turning her down but alternating this with flirting behaviour.
2. It implies that she was trying to get with you, creating a chase frame

So that could work well as long as you're sure she'll get what you mean by the marriage joke.

Best Response if you are faced to faced is not to say anything, and just kiss her.

If it is over the phone via text... avoid the question. Reply by either:
"Why do you ask?" or "How about we go grab some lunch tomorrow and I'll tell you after"

You're aiming to just kiss her really.

Your answer is a simple kiss.
