Don't get me wrong. I think you are right. But at least where I live in I think it is so rooted that the man makes the move that it is really paralyzing for girls to just start talking. Even frighting. Maybe this dude is aggressive or violent? Maybe he's a freak show. I think it's a mixture of culture and self thoughts that makes this reality. You are right. Next time a simple hi or few generic question is precisely what need to be done. Thank you for your comment
