wondering if it's Asa loving to push Emiri’s buttons, or she is genuinely asking in order to attempt finding one herself

Isn't this just your average teasing between friends? Just look at the convo of Makio's gang during their new year get-together.

I'd lean heavily towards the former.

But last episode Emily clearly told Asa to cease this type of “teasing” altogether, because she doesn't see herself tied to males. It no longer feels like teasing, and more like trying to push boundaries. My question is why Asa feels the desire to push a subject already sentenced “won't be discussed.”

She probably just forgot; ~~no need to~~ I wouldn't read too much into it.

I daresay it could be the same situation as Makio and Minori.

But now that you brought this up, this can be a source of conflict to further develop the plot. So now I'm betting that Asa and Emily are going to have a fight in a future episode.

no need to read too much into it.

then I wouldn’t be watching this adaptation 🙃

If you don't want others to feel demeaned, forgo imperative diction, and instead choose more nuance dictions:

Asa probably forgot, I wouldn't read too much into it.
