The meaning of 'oh sure'

Dana

Hello everyone. I have a question. What does 'oh sure' mean? 

This morning I had a conversation with my friend. I asked him if he still has fantasies about me/ interested in me. He answered 'oh sure'. He always replied to my requests and questions with 'sure'. 

Is there a difference between 'sure' and 'oh sure'? I believe that 'oh sure' implies a sarcastic tone in the message. Is that correct?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you and have a nice evening! Blush

    It is one of these words / phrases that is largely meaningless. I would ask for something more speific such as "what was the last fantasy you had about me then?", or "tell me why you are interested in me".

    You are asking closed questions which do not lead to more conversation so these open questions are the way to go - coversation 101 skills basically.

    Give it a try and see if it helps.

    If he was being sarcastic then he will have to explain his sarcasm which will hopefully make him embarrassed and make the situaiton less of a joke on you, stealing some of its ability to hurt you.
