Hey all,

I know the rule, don't shit where you eat. i fucked up today. There is a cute Iranian graduate that was on the wards with me. She and i initially flirted and agreed to go watch fireworks on 4th of july. She flaked, but what did I care? I had fun anyways with other friends. She asked for help looking for research. Me being nice, I say no problem. I helped set up a meeting between my former PI and her. It worked out well. We stopped being in touch since then until today. She texted out of the blue asking how i was doing. I decided to flirt a little answering "depends. considering i am being asked by a sexually attractive woman, I say I am doing quite well. you?

She responds, "YOU MUST NEVER SAY THOSE WORDS TO ME OR OTHER PEOPLE. YOU MUST KNOW THIS IS HARASSMENT!" I am completely taken aback by this response. All my other plates or other girls take amusement in that kind of answer i gave. How should I respond back?
