Interesada
Hi guys,
Earlier today I was chatting with a colombian (girl)friend and she said that she was at an internet cafe because her laptop is broken, and she hopes to buy one by next week. I said jokingly that she should save her money and buy a visa and a plane ticket here and I'd give her my old one (at least that's what I meant to say): "Creo que es mejor que gastes tu dinero en un viaje y visa a los eeuu, y te regalo mi laptop viejo".
She responded by saying: "ahh nooo, no me gusta eso, yo no soy una chica interesada". I didn't know what "una interesada" is, and the dictionary here says that it is someone with a concern in a business; a partner. If that were the case her response wouldn't make any sense though. Does interesado/a have another slang meaning? Or can anyone make any sense of the exchange?
Just wondering. Thanks.

One Interested (: hope you figure out what she's saying(:
I'm not from Colombia, but in many Latin American countries, a "chica interesada" is a gold-digger or a girl that is after a mans $.
It means (according to google)
interested concerned selfish mercenary profit-seeking
In a nutshell, she's not a gold digger!
"No soy una chica interesada" means that she doesn't act by ambition, greed, and so on.
Is someone who just want to be with other person for his money
