In my life, there have been two women who took the initiative in getting
to know me.  In the first case, I was logged in working on something or
other, and she sent me a message saying "Hi, have you seen <movie> yet?".
I answered no, and she said "Want to see it with me?  All of my friends
have already seen it.".  I said "sure".  About two days later it dawned
on me that maybe she was interested in talking to me, not just going to
the film because none of her current friends were interested.

In the second case, I was logged on working on something, and received
a mail message saying "Would you like to go for a walk?".  I sent back
"sure".

In both cases, I was acquainted with the women beforehand (we're all from
the Waterloo CS department) but had not talked with them very much.

It may be impossible to tell exactly what a woman has in mind when she
asks for your company; she may not know herself.  So what?  Just how
badly can things go wrong in one evening?

I seldom turn down an opportunity to get to know someone new, so i'm interested
in talking to someone regardless of what her motives are...
