and consider what that woman has been through and how many men have approached her respectfully and politely in just one day/week/month. and ask yourself if it's worth potentially ruining her moment/hour/afternoon/day/week/et al just b/c you feel like you gotta take a shot at her.

think about her and the very real possibility that she won't view your respectful holla in a vacuum but that due to what she's got going on your respectful holla is likely to be viewed by her as yet ANOTHER unwanted holla that she has to deal with. yet ANOTHER UNWANTED holla from another STRANGE man on the street who wants a piece of her attention.

think about her for a minute longer or a few seconds longer and stop making it about you and your mother. make it about her. and think about whether you want to add to that woman's struggle by being YET ANOTHER STRANGE MAN approaching her b/c he feels entitled to her time just b/c he's 'polite' and 'respectful'.

think about the stories she's heard or experiences she's had where a guy who approached all polite and respectful turned into a monster for some reason unknown to her. think about that when you wanna approach as YET ANOTHER STRANGE POLITE MAN who has intentions unknown to her. imagine the panic that may set off in her - even if brief. and multiply that panic by dozens-fold and imagine feeling that shit multiple times per day more days than not.
