Hi
I've tried to write the conversation below but I cannot be sure what I should say at the end.
The man: You have not been in town in five minutes and you have managed to attact gentlemen admirers.
The girl: They are not.
The man: Not gentlemen or not admirers?
The girl: Both. / Neither. (The girl wants to say that they are neither gentlemen nor admirers)
Should the girl say 'both' or 'neither' as a short answer at the end? I think 'neither' works but I am not sure.
