I don't think her phone has NFC, it might but she wouldn't know if it did. But I don't always see her in person that often, which means we'd have to wait until we were face to face before we could even try to see if she had NFC etc.

Could also scan a QR code.

I think an IM which relied on in-person seeding and then bootstrapped with mutual contacts could be quite powerful, and easy to use for newbies too.
