...what's a good reply?
Context:
This is a girl that used to be working at a cafeteria I frequent. We've always had good vibes, sharing laughs and teasing each other a bit. Nothing serious, I know she has (or at least used to have, when she was still working there) a boyfriend. So just some regular pleasant banter.
She stopped working there a year or so ago, and I haven't seen her in a while. Today she showed up while I was there having a coffee. When I recognized her, I got up, gave her a long hug, and we chatted for a while. Asked her what she was doing now and she says she's studying. I asked what she studies, and she said she's going to be a policewoman.
Now I didn't expect that answer, so I was genuinely impressed. I have a university degree myself and my last LTR was with an MD, so there's probably few answers to the question "what are you studying" that could genuinely have impressed me... but in this case, hers did. (Especially considering I only ever knew this girl as this silly and cute waitress).
So my reaction was "Wow! How scary!" in a kind of teasing, but also genuinely impressed way. I then said "I hope you don't catch me!" and she was like "Yeah I'm gonna catch you on your bike!" to which I laughed. Should have said "No way, I'm way too fast for you, you can't catch me" but didn't come up with it in the moment. Hindsight is 20/20
Which got me thinking, what's a good way to respond to girls saying they're police / are going to be police? Supposing you want to seduce her. In which case, saying "how scary" probably isn't the best frame.
