Lol, no idea. I can't say I've ever seen girls holding hands to go to
the toilets.

Not a bad thing, actually.
See, if I call up friends once a week, and suggest we hang out, even if
it's just two of us, there is nothing wrong with that. No one gets
creeped out. A new friend might get a little confused by that, but a
date would probably find that a little stalkerish.
Good news is, if she wants to double date, she's not thinking of you as
'just a friend'.

The difference, the only difference, is that she was honest with you
about her life right then.
A woman gives you her number does not equate to 'you scored'. Her
thoughts could range from 'nice guy, would be a good friend' to
something much more primal. You can't know, in most cases, what she was
thinking. This one just happened to tell you.
Myself, I'm stunned. You heard the 'bad breakup' bit and didn't offer
her a shoulder to cry on?

No - but a guy *mentioning* that a "hot girl" gave him her phone number
usually does. ;-)
Commedians use this effect all the time; what your audience infers from
what you tell them can be completely transformed by a single fact
mentioned or not mentioned.

I heard the "bad breakup" part while I was standing 50 miles away. :-P

Nah. She's explicitly not looking for a BF.
She's only ever met me, like, once, so she probably just wants somebody
to protect her in case it turns out I'm stark raving mad. (Or in case I
decide to try to make a move on her I guess - I have no clue how to do
that, but she doesn't know that...)

My first public speaking experience was a surprise. I was involved in some
background union activity offshore. The chairman opened a meeting by saying that
he could not stay and Stevie would chair it instead. That left me with no option
but to stand up and speak. Looking back on it I am glad that I was thrown in at
the deep end as I did not have time to worry and get nervous. I use the same
principle today, I never prepare a speech only the subject and rely on knowing
the subject. I'm not afraid to admit I don't know the answer to questions but I
will come back with the answers later.
On an aside, the week before last I was giving a talk to my local computer club
about the wonders of Excel. I went really well only three out of the audience of
ten fell asleep. :) It was past their bedtime though. (I am the only one who is
not a pensioner)
Ah! Well, win some, lose some :)

As an aside...
My therapist seems to think that I'm nervous of public speaking because
I'm autistic. I was under the impression that *all* people are nervous
of public speaking. (Or at least, the vast majority of people anyway.) I
didn't think this was "abnormal" in any way...?

It's not. I used to be nervous of public speaking, to the extent that
I'd bail on assembly bible readings at school and even considered
skipping some uni classes. I'm still scared of it now, even after giving
papers at research conference and being a best man three times. It's the
build-up I can't stand, it just terrifies me. However, once I'm up there
I usually have great fun and wonder what all the fuss was about... weird.
