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?

I used to jog really late in the evening for many years and had this experience more than once.
My solution: Put my hands palm out flat in front of me as if to gesture I wasn’t a threat.
If walking, doing something similar and not making it weird is probably equally good.
