It's not optimistic at all. You clearly have in your head what a "favorable response" would be, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to put some sugar on top to achieve the favorable response.
So first define what that favorable response is, and then justt ry asking that question - if you knew she'd respond in your "favorable" way no matter what you did, then what would you do?
This provides a sense of YOUR authenticity... for me being authentic doesn't usually include jam, but that's me. It's possible that for you, authenticity does include some toppings... and if so, then the answer to the above question will shed some light on the situation either way for you on how to act in alignment with your own sense of authenticity.
