In response to comments to the post below:

1. No hijinx were involved. I asked A. and then hedged by asking J., because I had a hunch that A. wouldn't call back to confirm, which she didn't. Neither, unfortunately, did J.

2. Neither A. nor J. knows B.

3(a). I don't think I'll ever be able to refer to my pseudo- or robo-prospects as "women" until I can refer to myself, unironically, as a man, and I'm not quite at that point yet.

3(b). I'm notoriously bad at judging which movies are appropriate for viewing with girls. Of course, this won't be an issue when I meet the girl of my dreams, who will actually want to see Dogville this Friday. (Hmmm. I wonder what J. is doing?)
