A suitable reply would be "I'd snap you up too, but because you're married I wouldn't touch you with a barge pole".
She's giving you the 'come-on' but you'd open a real can of worms if you took her up on it. I know how tempting it can be especially if she owns a brewery plus a yacht and is page 3 material, but check out the size of her husband and weigh up the consequences before doing anything stupid.

Though I am from an Indian culture,I don't think talking with other men when you are married is wrong.
But flirting with other men when you are married is wrong.
Stay away from her.
What if she has a husband who is 6"6,weighs 300 lbs and has a black belt in Karate to boot?
A forbidden fruit is always tempting.
The lure of the unknown can be dangerous.It would be better to stay away from it.

Do you not understand the phrase "snap you up"?
I take it English isn't your first language.
She meant she would go out with you.
She was paying you a compliment. But it means nothing to her so do not act on it.
Good Luck!! xx

 She meant exactly what she said. IF SHE WERE MARRIED, she would snap you up. The corollary is very easy to arrive at: SINCE SHE IS MARRIED, don't even think you have a chance with her. Move on.

 Don't be ridiculous, it's pretty damn obvious what that means! You just want a load of people to answer your question and validate the fact that a woman finds you attractive!!
'Snap you up' -- Is like saying she would want to date you but just said in a very hands on violent manner! You know this! Sounds like a croc to me.
She’s completely coming onto you. People who actually care about their marriage wouldn't even tell someone they'd 'snap them up'...
AND you already said she had flirted with you. I doubt people go from flirting to wanting to feed off your flesh which is how 'snap you up' could be literally interpreted.
It's such a common expression, I just can't belive you wouldn't know what it means - I'm a teenager and I know what it means (And us teens have NO vocab or understanding of old expressions!!)
You definately just want other people to tell you she wants you - Because you are very flattered.
Silly Billy question I'd say!
