A good response to "Sorry I haven't called" ?

[LowPlainsDrifter]

I recently met a woman I like who's moving. She seemed amenable to getting together for dinner soon, but when I called her recently she sounded a bit agitated and told me she couldn't do it until she was completely settled in.
We've talked a few times since then (I fix her computers, and she calls me with occasional questions), and every time we talk she says voluntarily "I'm still unpacking... but when I'm done we'll go out."
I'm just looking for suggestions for something to say other than, "OK" or "Sure"
I'm not particularly optimistic or pessimistic that we'll get together, but I'd like some suggestions for something a bit livelier to say in reply.

*jokingly* "well you'd better hurry, or some other lucky lady might get me first"

This is the wrong forum for this kind of question BTW.

and every time we talk she says voluntarily "I'm still unpacking... but when I'm done we'll go out."

So she's the one who's bringing that topic up...

Just smile a little as if to acknowledge it, and not say anything. I don't know if that's the 'lively' answer you're looking for but like you said, you're fairly indifferent about whether or not you get together with her, so I think that response would best reflect what you are thinking at the time.

Greetings, Can't think:

Not a bad idea, except she is saying this over the phone!
I could still smile, but it wouldn't be visible!
But at least she's prefacing her messages (business calls)
with this, and saying it again when I call her back.
I just feel that I need to say something other besides
"OK" or "sure" that isn't needy ("OK, so when do you think
that might be"), or overly C&F, ("Let's see what happens first -
us getting together, or my hair turning gray?")

I'm trying to avoid what happened with another woman I
liked. After a rather "charged"
first and second meetup (business reasons),
we had a nice lunch together, and I called her a day
or two later for a followup date. Never heard back from
her, but when I ran into her at a store a few months
later, she launched into
why she hadn't called and I said, "well, I wasn't looking
for an explanation" "That wasn't an explanation" she replied,
and walked away.

Tell her in a menacing voice..."You just made your last cancellation, little girl..."
