According to you, she didn’t say if she tried to engage with him or not, but he is still wrong for not engaging with her? I see you and know where your ingrained assumptions are coming from whether you acknowledge them or not.

At no point in her own story did she describe trying to engage him. Going by her own story, she projected all sorts of thoughts onto him without ever saying anything to him at all. It is mighty entitled of her to expect him to engage her. I wonder why she had that expectation......
