A little "naughty"! LOL!
Webster's definition: verging on impropriety or indecency.
Cheeky monkey, you!!

When you say that your "girlfriend ask me if I was being risque," I think you mean to say that your "girlfriend ASKED me if I WERE being risque." The verb tense is the first error; the "mood" the second. Since she (presumably) didn't know for sure--hence the question--the answer was not predetermined. In other words, it could have gone either way. So, you want to use the subjunctive mood, "were."
And, while you could be being risque, technically speaking, I think she really meant to ask you is are you being "bold" or "provocative."
So, what are you doing here at Yahoo! Answers? Go back to your girlfriend and see what happens.

Your girlfriend is using the word incorrectly. Risque means "sexually suggestive." Your words are risque; you personally are not.

suggestive of sexual impropriety; "a blue movie"; "blue jokes"; "he skips asterisks and gives you the gamy details"; "a juicy scandal"; "a naughty wink"; "naughty words"; "racy anecdotes"; "a risque story"; "spicy gossip"

Tell her, "Why yes, in fact I AM!" And keep doing what you're doing. :~)
