Question: if you were to say to someone, "I'll do my best not to seduce you" and they replied, "You do that", how exactly would you interpret that?

Maybe. I am in fact the one who responded. So, what do you think they were getting at, and how, given that there was no tone of voice to help an interpretation via text, do you think that it would be taken?

Ahh. Well, if you were the one responding, everyone knows you are incorrigibly facetious. So probably they wouldn't read too much into it?

Hmm, depends on tone of voice. I'd say serious flirtation.

via text.

Ah. In that case: read 'too late'.

...unless they were purely joking, which, y'know, is always possible for people less subtexty-minded than I am.
