She asked, "Do you think I am interested in you?"

I'm friends with a girl that I have known for half a year. When we met she was single, then had a boyfriend within 2-3 weeks of us meeting and we didn't do anything except hang out as friends.

Now they are broken up but she makes it clear that she wants to get back with him. I tell her that she should try to take lead and clear up the misconceptions with her boyfriend. She listened to me and be is playing games with her by pretending to be "hurt" by her breaking up with her.

We hang out once or twice a week, go to the bar, etc. and often times she flirts with me but I never make a move and I tell her there's no way I would even kiss her when some of these things come up in conversations.

Yesterday, while eating at a pizza place, I was flirting with her and asking her to turn around so I could see her ass lol. Anyway, towards the end of it, she asked me, "do you think I'm interested in you?" My immediate response was, "no" and said it in a cool confident way. She didn't say anything else about it.

Any idea what's going on here? What answer was she expecting?

Points to note:
1. We are friends
2. She knows I find her attractive
3. She also knows I don't want her lol
- I intentionally put her in the friend zone in front of her friends who thought there was something going on between us.

I'm not actively pursuing, but if there's potential then why not haha
