A calling card is a premise for contacting someone with the intention of asking for a date. Usually, you have fallen out of contact with the person you are contacting.
"Dude, your sister's getting married. That's a great calling card."
"Another person from my Class of 81 has died. Think I'll call Patty to let her know, heard she's divorced now. Obituaries give great calling cards."
