To be fair a lot of men don't realise what a turn off texting is. You at least want a man who has the balls to ask you to your face. It probably does feel invasive to her to have a guy she doesn't know messaging her. She literally says she always meets people in public because she's scared.

It likely was a 20-second encounter and the guy simply didn't have time to process that he found her attractive and maybe something could be made to happen.

He probably processed it but yeah, sometimes you don't know what to say in the moment and try it afterward. I once asked a girl out without having had a conversation beforehand. I just thanked her for the boat tour on my way out, she was the guide. I wanted to have a conversation with her there but felt too self-conscious with people around. I got my bike from down the street and stopped by again to ask her out. She declined because she was moving to another country but it was not at all unwelcome, we had a pleasant conversation.

Is that why you don't want to text me?

Isn't that literally number one rule of facebook marketplace? It's not a "female opression" thing
