Don't pursue her based on the fact you didn't bomb with that joke. This is what I see happen with a lot of LBH's. One very tiny, tiny bit of encouragement (like having a conversation without her biting your head off) and you think it is a green light. It is a step in progress, but you need to let her continue initiating contact--and certainly giving you some clues.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
