We didn’t really disagree on anything.

Yes, at her own risk.

Polite, attractive, good listener.
What do you think she made of you?
She wasn’t in a hurry to get away, so I think she was enjoying my company.

No, we stayed for quite a while and then I walked her to the bus stop.

Only on the cheek.
