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?

Make yourself more visible. Be on your phone with brightness set to max, get on the phone and call someone, or pretend to. Move over slowly to the edge of whatever side you are on to give her space. If all of that is too much trouble, then cross the street.
