Table 2. Phases of the Experiment.

Baseline		Time (s)
1	Baseline starts
2	Baseline ends	150
Start: The virtual female initiates the conversation.
3	Experiment starts
4	Avatar stares at the participant
5	Avatar approaches to within normal social distance
6	“Hi, It looks like we are the only people alone here, right?"
7	“My name is Christina."
8	“It's very nice to meet you."
9	“So, what are you doing for a living?"
10	“Very interesting, tell me more."
11	“I'm an air hostess; I just arrived in London yesterday. Where do you live?"	50
Mundane: the conversation is about mundane matters
12	“I don't know London very well, but actually, I am thinking about moving here, what do you think?"
13	“But I heard it rains all the time here, is that true?"
14	“Well, the weather is not that important to me. Have you lived here long?"
15	“Do you like it here?"
16	“I've noticed that people dressed very well around here. By the way, that shirt looks great on you. How much was it?"
17	“Ah, I really want to find a pair of trousers, something like these (Looking down) for my brother. Where did you get these?"	50
Intimate: the conversation became more intimate
18	“So, do you know anyone here?"
19	“I feel a bit shy about talking with other people, do you mind if I talk with you for a bit longer?"
20	The avatar approaches to an intimate distance
21	“If you don't mind me saying, I think you look very nice."
22	“I was wondering actually, are you single, or involved with someone at this time?"
23	“Actually, it is the same with me."
24	“Anyway, what are you doing after this party?"
25	“Maybe we should meet up."	50

The times shown are the total for the phase. For Baseline this is accurate but the times shown for the others do not include the varying amount of talking time of the participants.
