Hey guys, help me to interpret this and, if you can, let me know what I should do!

I cold-approached a girl on a park bench in her lunch-break, sat down next to her, went direct. We built rapport for maybe 5 min. I asked her on a date, she declined. She said she had a BF and it "wouldn't be appropriate, though I'd have loved to otherwise". I persisted, told her I was also attached and there needn't be any serious expectations, we'd just see how things played out.

She said okay, give me your contact details. No way am I falling for that one, I get out my phone and ask her how long she's been dating. She says a year and a half. I hand her my phone and tell her to punch in her number.

There is a lot of fiddling around, I begin to wonder what's going on. Eventually she pings her finger off the screen in a "that's it!" gesture and hands back the phone.

She's saved her number with first name and even company name, as she points out when I remark on her efforts. No doubt so I won't confuse her with all the other girls I've approached by the same name;-) I've never had any girl do this before.

We say goodbye and she moves to hug me, but as you may know I don't tolerate hugging when I have romantic interest in a woman; I cheek-kiss her instead. When she sees this coming, she gives a little "Oh!" of surprise but proffers her cheek willingly.

What's with all this effort on the phone entry? Obviously I will try to move things forward, but any specific guidance?
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Marty,

My buddy and I recently took a trip to the Southern United States. We both noticed that when we got numbers, the girls would enter their first and last names. We came to the conclusion that that was just maybe more of the custom in that area. The reactions afterward were the same as you'd get with any number without the "extras". Some turned into something, some didn't. At the end of the day, a number is just a number. They're usually not that difficult to get, and regardless of if she puts her first name, last name, email, fb, twitter, and known relatives in your phone, it's just a number.

Don't over-think it, just react the same you would any other time you got a number.
