Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this car spotting stuff!
I took a lady-friend to the German autofest (Porsche car show) and she had a good time but really didn't "get it", she would wander off when I would come across a rare 911 and stop to photograph it. I sat in a Boxster a dealer had on display and just about wet my pants, she just looked at me and said "why don't you just buy one?"... uh the don't exactly give these things away  she though the 356's were "cute"... couldn't understand why I was so excited about the 74' 911 with a 2.4... at one point she got bored and started chatting with a nice gentleman... who brought his CGT to display

You did well - it's a pretty distinctive car
.
I went to GAF in 2005 as it was the 15th Anniversary of the Early S Registry as well. (A 40th b/day pressie). Spent 5 fast and furious days in SoCal hanging with the guys. GAF was fun; the cars were great but the people were why I was there. The swap meet was a bit of a dissapointment though - I had a list of small stuff to look for and didn't find any of it
. I spent a fair bit of time in the trade hall and in the memorabilia hall looking at stuff, but's that's what I do for a living so it was important for me to see what was on offer.
I can sort of understand why a non-car type girl wouldn't get into it. It is a very specific show and for someone who's not really into cars, once you've walked around once what more is there?
Where are you located? I reckon a more fun thing to take a lady to would be one of the coffee and cars mornings that are now happening at Ford's headquarters - early start though; but I'm sure you could work that out
