Bait for embarrassing the person. It depends on the person and context. I was often teased like this by people in school because I was quite susceptible to emotional manipulation. The note is not asking the person out. The note is asking for a reaction to a hypothetical situation without any commitment to actually asking. The intelligent reply is an equally indecisive hypothetical response saying "if you're uncommitted, so am I, try again" while also protecting from the potential for a trap. Plus if the person does not have the depth to understand the volley, the answer is a solid no.
