So I'm always evaluating my interactions as I've only recently unplugged and trying to improve my game, shit testing being my primary focus.

Had a funny interaction with a girl and wanted an opinion on my attempt to pass this specific shit test.
This was after I opened. She talked about how she has nerdy interests so I told her yeah you kinda look like a nerd and she replied with yes I really am. I then continued by saying It's sort of cute, it's okay, to which she replied:

*Using the finger quotes laughing* "Thanks" for your permission, not that I've asked for it

I just replied with 'You're welcome'.

Was there a better response?
