What does it mean when a girl asks you about your preferences regarding a potential girlfriend?

I did my exchange term in Japan Tokyo and when it was time for me to leave Japan I and my friend plus more or less her acquaintance (female) had a somewhat improvised farewell party. During that farewell my friend's friend which I only had talked to a handful of times before started to ask me about what I like in a girl etc. and during that time I simply answered her questions not thinking anything about it. Some background information about that girl is that the first time we met we found out that we come from the same city and later on I learned that one of her aspirations is to get married in the near future although as far as I know she doesn't have a boyfriend. Ok having said that let's continue with the story. When I finally got home to my home country and we're well enough to meet people other than my parents I told them this story among other small stories regarding my adventures in Japan and they all thought that this has to do something about her taking an interest in me. So what do you think about this situation. Post scriptum: I am not her type when it comes to men physically.

Well, it could be that she has an interest in you. It also could mean she was genuinely curious about what you preferred in a girlfriend. It is hard to tell. There would have been other signs if she was into you.

Perhaps all this thinking of relationship, marriage, etc has her wondering what guys like in general. That could be one possibility of why she is asking. She could also be polling more than just you.

Then there is the distinct possibility that she wanted to know what you liked because she did have an interest in you. Again, there would be some other signs than just asking about what you like in a girl.

Is that all the contact that you had since then? Have you seen her at all now that you are back in your home country? I would be looking for more interaction and for her to want to reach out if she was into you. I would not base anything just on what happened before you left.

This girl obviously found something in you or about you that made her twinge inside…. or she would not had boldly brought the subject to the forefront in this way.

It was the Perfect Storm. She saw you outside of your element, but yet, you are from her area. You are so hot to her. She’s got you two living overseas, sharing a “same-raising” life together, and probably already has names for the kids.

Be you snd confident. She knows you from close/hometown and afar/Japan. There’s no way she will be allowing a condom…or be on the pill 💊 for you

“Loverboy”

Honestly, I think she was having a conversation and you are waaaaaaaaay overthinking this whole thing.

If you aren't her type then she won't want to date you. Granted as long as you meet some physical preferences, if you check other boxes beyond physical, she may choose to date you. The real question though: "is she your type?"

It means she wants to know your preferences for a potential girlfriend
