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.

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

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

Why aren't there any Indian girls married to Chinese guys but Chinese girls married to Indian guys?

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

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

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

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

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