Well if I am keeping in character with my replies/questions/comments to your other posts CS I would have to say: “I’m sorry but my heart is with somepony else.”
As a standalone event I would probably say something like: “Thanks for telling me but I’m unsure how I feel about you. If only there were some sorta thing we could do to find out… something where we would spend time together..” Hopefully she would respond that those are called dates, at which point I would then say we should totally do that then.

That was a joke, by the way. Your interviews show you’ve got a good handle on her accent. Just so we’re clear.
Eeyup, looks like. Though iffen it makes ya feel any better, y’all ain’t the only one.
There’s an apple behind
Go, be happy
Welp, so much for that. I suck at her accent.

She doesn’t say it all the time but it’s part of her vocabulary. Example plural. Example singular.
Also.
In the past, y’all was never used as a proper singular, but it may have been used where there is an implied plural. Due to a cultural shift in the United States by non-Southerners using the word, it is sometimes used as a singular you.
Y’all serves as a ‘tone-setting device to express familiarity and solidarity’. When used in the singular, y’all can be used to convey a feeling of warmth towards the addressee. In this way, singular usage of y’all differs from French or German, where plural forms can be used for formal singular instances. There is long-standing disagreement about whether y’all has primarily or exclusively plural reference. The debate itself extends to the late nineteenth century, and has often been repeated since. While many Southerners hold that y’all is only properly used as a plural pronoun, strong counter evidence suggests that the word is also used with a singular reference, particularly amongst non-Southerners.
My only gripe is that “ya’ll”, while technically a valid alternate spelling, doesn’t look right. Makes it look more like “you will”.
Also also: best pony. No exceptions.
None in particular that I can put my finger on, I do remember her using it several times in the show, though.
hmm…usually “Ya’ll” is both slang and a contraction of “you all.” Can you point me out an example?
As far as I can remember, Applejack always says ‘ya’ll’ instead of ‘you’.

leaves off-camera for some real revealing revelations
Gee, I-I don’t know… Because I always thought that I… That’s a surprise…
/me takes Applejack and runs away!
