Just be yourself, if they got headphones on then don’t try anything, be respectful, and if you’re worried if anything your doing is making them uncomfortable, just ask them straight up. Communication is key

tbh in this department I think you may have an advantage, bc a lot of guys who Aren’t autistic totally lack the self-awareness to recognize when their attention isn’t welcome most women (not all ofc) don’t really want to be approached in public with flirtatious intent when they’re busy going about their day, so I think your best bet is to get in the habit of striking up friendly casual conversations with strangers in general

cause when you organically build up a rapport with someone without deliberately seeking a romantic or sexual dynamic, you leave them the space to decide how they feel about you and how they want to proceed, rather than immediately putting them on the spot re: whether or not they’re open to something more-than-platonic. if you have chemistry, it’ll turn into flirting without you having to take direct initiative
