Does this signify interest?

Question - (3 March 2017) 9 Answers - (Newest, 14 March 2017)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A girl at work responding to my asking her something responded "for you anything". I have had this also said to me in another setting by different girl (she serving me or telling me where a product is). Of course we've had a friendly chat or chats before she said this. Does this sound like serious interest. Otherwise I'm interested to hear thoughts on what else could she have meant?

Let's put it this way- if a court case hung on one piece of evidence alone and that evidence was a one time spoken sentence of 'for you, anything' then there would be no case.

If you're thinking this girl might be interested in you, there would be many other clues. Look out for those before doing anything!

A female reader, p.d632 United States +, writes (3 March 2017):

While I am not saying that she isn't interested in you, just this phrase alone does not mean she is interested in you. It is just something people say, whether it is being friendly, flirty, or joking around.

We can't decipher interest from this small bit of a conversation, unfortulately. As a woman your age, though, i will say that when I am friendly with my male coworkers (of any age), they often misconstrue it as interest. So you may be better off either leaving it alone or asking her out to know for sure. Good luck.

I certainly wouldn't say this to someone I didn't like! Maybe she does like you. Just keep chatting and treat her in a friendly way and see what happens. Drop a hint or two of your own maybe?

It's a joke! It's a humorous way of saying "No problem, I'll pass you that folder" or "Sure, your coffee's coming right up"

It's not supposed to be taken seriously. It's what we call "witty banter". The girl probably likes you enough in a friendly way but it's not necessarily an indicator that she is attracted to you,

Is this the girl from the supermarket?

Andie's Thoughts agony auntIn most situations, this is just a joke. Don't take it as interest. The only way to gauge interest is to ask them out unless they seem disinterested in you.

Honeypie agony auntIt could be interest, it could be sarcasm, it could just be banter.

You can't JUDGE this by ONE sentence alone.

But if that is all you got, I'd say NO, it's not a sign of SERIOUS interest.

Denizen agony auntIt is irony. If you are high on the autism spectrum you won't get this, but people don't always mean what they say. It is a form of humour.

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 March 2017):

You are hell bent on trying to make meanings out of everyday conversations. How are we supposed to judge whether she likes you based on one small phrase picked out from an entire chat? Is it you hobby to find hidden meanings. Do you think women are busy conjuring bits of conversations with hidden meanings and how to fit that jigsaw piece when you come along? You sound like you are too desperate and see women as mysterious beings from the space and everything they do or say decoded to see if it hits the target or not.
