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

“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.

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

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

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

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

I took a video of my serve (60 FPS) and it took 0.4 seconds from my racket to the service line. How fast would you say my serve was?

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