Not knowing him I nudged Dan ( on of the mentioned friends ) in the ribs and he introduced me .. then he sold me to him for a bottle of mead . Charming I know . The rest of the day was extremely pleasant and he asked me out . I did refuse him though for a couple of reasons .

Give answer the following question using evidence from the above passage: Why did the author nudge Dan in the ribs ?
She wanted to get his attention so he would introduce them to another person .
