I disagree. Why make it complicated by concocting all kinds of possible responses? I like that you responded with the truth. I believe in speaking from your heart not your mind (many of my posts state that approach). Egotistical, sarcastic words hurt people, including yourself. Why do that? What you said was honest and respectable. You will not promote cake eating if you hold yourself in high regard and set boundaries. I guess you need to ask yourself, what kind of woman do you want to be?
