First, let’s look at concerns. What can you expect if you go up to her and ask her name? Never mind. In the most extremely undesirable case, she will say “I’m in a hurry” and this conversation will stop. Not the best option. But still. A woman takes any country private delight with her as the best compliment to herself. If you approach, most likely, she will decide that she is extremely attractive, that she has captivated you and prompted you to do something.
