Scenario: It’s night, and a man is walking home. He sees ahead there is a woman going in the opposite direction as him. Knowing not to stop or approach her, but his presence makes her nervous. What would help further in this scenario if anything?

    Cross the street because what if she tries talking to me? It’s night, I already did all my talking for the week I wanna be introverted alone.

      Think fast hot shot! You both started crossing the street at the same time for the same reason and neither of you noticed until you’re in the middle of the road. Now what?
