Thanks for the replies guys.
I met up with her tonight in person, and as expected some variation of the question came up.
I used the general agree and amplify lines, keeping it light and funny, but, also as expected, this wasn't enough.
So I what I said next was, coincidentally, almost word for word what Kaotic wrote above about zero expectations! (I only just read your replies now)
And it helped her to understand where I'm coming from without killing the mood.
If I didn't care about her at all I would have just been deadpan serious and agreed and pulled it off as sarcasm.
But I think the reply above shows that I like her, but I'm not looking to lock down a girlfriend anytime soon, which is true.
