What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
