If what he described is accurate, she grossly overrrected.
Many women do overreact today at a guy asking them out, or even talking to them. Same crap as women using the gym as their personal recording studio, wearing explicit workout “gear” and then if any guy looks at them 9r glajces their way, posting an instagram about being looked at at the gym by guys.
Pay attention to them, they get angry. Ignore them, and they get angry.
