Any point in pursuing?
Context - says she was Italian in her bio but doesn't speak it so I chose to open with what's written below but no answer so I followed about 5 days later to this response.
Seems like the "scared off" is probably referring to the jokingly introducing her to my nonna (which was a joke) as this maybe portrayed some sort "looking for committment" from my part even though I'm not. I tried essentially sidestepping it by jokingly assuming she was on about finding Italian hard and in turn scary to learn.
What I was going to do is just let this match be i.e. if she responds she responds if not nothing kind of thing, but I'd like to know other peoples opinions on both what to do and whether I didn't imply it enough that I was joking and came on too strong.

She’s an idiot. That was an obvious joke. I would’ve followed up her text with “you do know that was a joke right”
Firstly I want to thank everyone for the feedback. I was initially going to leave it for another few days tbh and question her humour with something like the example above or a variation on "tell me you can take/handle other things better than you can take a joke".
However she's just got back to me with this and I feel like her vibes changed. Now I think I should try sexualise this in a funny playful way such as a play on tongues or whispering in her ear but would that be too soon/risky?

Wasn't that bad. I've used it with girls learning Spanish and it works when they're already invested. I might've said "what's scary is you thought I was serious. Did a clingy guy traumatize you or something?"
Or a ridiculous extreme like "dw she likes threesomes too". I'd say you try a last time, let us know if it works bruv

I like the line about her not understanding it was a joke. I usually use humor as a filter. If she doesn't get it, it means she is either a pain in the ass or has the intelligence of an amoeba. In either case, not interested.
