here is the exchange. my french is ok, but she threw something (the term "detournee") at me i'm unfamiliar with. i think i may have annoyed her by my question, but hopefully someone with better french skills can tell for sure. for context, this is someone I've been friendly with for a number of years but we never "dated" - after hanging out with her when she visted the US recently, I began to think may be dating wouldn't be such a bad idea....but i still don't know what her status is (i.e., whether she's seeing anyone back in France). She's going to a rock concert tomorrow night and i wondered who she was going with:
me: alors, question indiscrete mais je vais le poser neanmoins...tu va prendre ton ami au concert?
her: Quel ami. Est-ce une question detournee?
So that's it...not much to go on, i realize. THANKS!
