(Which I don't mean as a "first base" metaphor! Yikes!)
What's getting touched on the elbow? A bunt?
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Me too!" she said, and touched my elbow. Was it unconscious? Was it flirting?
Elbow touches are definitely mild flirting. A touch to the arm during conversation is considered Level 1 Intimacy.
What's getting touched on the elbow? A bunt?
Not just a bunt. But bunting for a base hit.
Let's put the baseball metaphors away. What it means is that you can email her once you get her email address.
And you might get an opportunity to take her out. To something like your Mission Tour, and Bi-Rite ice cream. During the day.
That's a low key kind of date.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Seriously, there's no failure and disappointment, my friend. You went, you had fun, you chatted. It's all good.
What Steph said, 100%. And as a woman, I will take a number more readily than I will give my number, from a safety standpoint. Even if nothing happens, it's like interviewing for a job that you're not even sure you want. It's good practice.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What smonster said.
Shir, tons of ~ma for your friends. I hope you're able to talk to her soon.
There is no energy to be found today. I just took a nap, and I already feel like I need another one.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
By offering your contact rather than asking for hers you showed tact and consideration.

Exactly.

Except, heh, she was willing to share her number with everyone at the table, so.
It's funny that you guys are saying this because in my other digs, they were all, girls won't actually call you, you have to get their number!
Even if nothing happens, it's like interviewing for a job that you're not even sure you want.
I like that.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think it sounded like it went really well, P-C! And dude, next time someone asks you about hobbies, you write, you act, you moderate popular boards, you read tons of books, you have a zillion friends from all over the world and country, you travel...
Um. Dude.
And yep, an elbow touch isn't "Let's bone like wild zebras" but it's a "I feel comfortable enough with you to touch you because you said or did something funny or neato."
So, good!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Shir, glad to hear your friend is alive. Please don't kill her, or we will have to find an alibi for you.
PC, dude, I would chalk that up as a success
Dude, this was your first Nerd Dating event, right? It sounds like a success, especially given the skewed gender ratio.This, especially. What was the ratio? 2-1? 3-1? How many guys walked a gal out? She might be real nervous about emailing you. She might be sleeping in. She might have a leaky pipe burst in her bathroom and distracted. Ya never know why there is a delay. Either way. You broke the ice for you. Use this as an opportunity to get out there more. See, you didn't burst into flame talking to strange women.
And yes, I know, all things I need to do myself.
