Someone I have been seeing for three weeks recently moved here and has no family nearby. I like them, but becoming their emergency contact feels like a lot this early.
Task
Brainstorm a better response than the Gemini suggestion.
Gemini suggestion
Wow, a promotion already! I’ll accept the position, but my emergency response time depends entirely on where you’re taking me for dinner.

Keep warmth while preserving your boundary; flirtation should not silently accept responsibility.
