writes:A girl at work responding to my asking her something responded "for you anything". I have had this also said to me in another setting by different girl (she serving me or telling me where a product is). Of course we've had a friendly chat or chats before she said this. Does this sound like serious interest. Otherwise I'm interested to hear thoughts on what else could she have meant?

 Sounds to me like she is a friendly person to work with, doesn't show romantic interest.

If you're thinking this girl might be interested in you, there would be many other clues. Look out for those before doing anything!

While I am not saying that she isn't interested in you, just this phrase alone does not mean she is interested in you. It is just something people say, whether it is being friendly, flirty, or joking around.We can't decipher interest from this small bit of a conversation, unfortulately. As a woman your age, though, i will say that when I am friendly with my male coworkers (of any age), they often misconstrue it as interest. So you may be better off either leaving it alone or asking her out to know for sure. Good luck.

It's a joke! It's a humorous way of saying "No problem, I'll pass you that folder" or "Sure, your coffee's coming right up"
It's not supposed to be taken seriously. It's what we call "witty banter". The girl probably likes you enough in a friendly way but it's not necessarily an indicator that she is attracted to you,
Is this the girl from the supermarket?

 In most situations, this is just a joke. Don't take it as interest. The only way to gauge interest is to ask them out unless they seem disinterested in you.

 It could be interest, it could be sarcasm, it could just be banter.
You can't JUDGE this by ONE sentence alone.
But if that is all you got, I'd say NO, it's not a sign of SERIOUS interest.

 It is irony. If you are high on the autism spectrum you won't get this, but people don't always mean what they say. It is a form of humour.

How are we supposed to judge whether she likes you based on one small phrase picked out from an entire chat? Is it you hobby to find hidden meanings. Do you think women are busy conjuring bits of conversations with hidden meanings and how to fit that jigsaw piece when you come along? You sound like you are too desperate and see women as mysterious beings from the space and everything they do or say decoded to see if it hits the target or not.
