This isn’t even outside of what society expects. Striking up conversations with people is normal and human!
There are bad ways to do it, of course. In this case, I’d be rattled by the knee tap. But a little conversation is fine, and if they aren’t responding enthusiastically you can just drop it.
Dude OP was describing was striking up a conversation with another person. Sometimes that becomes a date, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s a nice way to go about every day. You don’t need an ulterior motive. If you can imagine having the conversation with a man in the same scenario, then it’s fine IMO.
Hard disagree. What are “appropriate dating spaces”?
Pretty sure lots of the people would love to have something serendipitous happen outside of the boring designations society expects.

What am I supposed to do? Be that creep that just hits on women? 😭
I can’t imagine that it’s not a game friend being a date, or friend of a friend who recommended me.
Or one of those dating servers/forums.
Everything else feels creepy.

Ironically, I cannot. I would not chat up a random man without a good reason.
