I'll lay off on trying to throw her some confusion this week ...But I'll keep thinking about how to respond differently in future situations.
That is the important part. Having a whole range of ways to interact and intentionally picking a specify way. Changing anytime you feel it is needed.

I used your advice and threw out the idea of a sexual favor in exchange for something in the house she was wanting. She genuinely laughed at it.
Perfect. It is not about getting the sexual favors. It is about surprising her. Laugher is our response to the unexpected.
So now you can't use that again. You have to come up with something else witty. All light and for your entertainment on how she reacts.
Just off the top of my head: "obviously you didn't want the vacuum cleaner THAT BAD." Insinuating she didn't get the vacuum cause you didn't get the sexual favors.
More edgy would be insinuating some other woman might be getting the vacuum....might be pushing the limits.
This type of interactions is much easier when you are single and interacting with single ladies. But at the end of the day, do what works. You made her laugh. The goal is to reduce resentment and increase attraction. Build sexual tension if you can.
