A lot of us probably wouldn't immediately approach a woman in this situation because we don't want to be perceived as being "creepy". In professional settings I generally keep my distance until I've had enough brief casual interactions with someone that they seem comfortable enough with me not to assume something like that. Do I seem like I'm being a dick sometimes? Maybe, but I'm just genuinely trying not to make people uncomfortable (although in part because I've definitely got a bit of social anxiety).
