You are incorrect. For her to do what you just said - that is, to 'allow him to make the offer'? No. Bad idea. That could be misconstrued as her giving him the idea that she MIGHT be interested, even if it was 'just a little bit'.
She wasn't! She didn't want to hear it. She nipped that conversation right in the bud in no uncertain terms.
She's my candidate for whatever office she pursues! This conversation just strengthened my opinion of her.
Now, if she were a trained prosecutor or police investigator, planning to set him up for a sting or something, she might have allowed him to throw out numbers, but she's none of those things. She did exactly right in this situation.
