Sometimes I will cross the street or at least walk on the other edge of
the sidewalk when I happen to be the only one walking behind a woman who
is walking close to the same pace that I feel like.  It could make any gender
jittery to have someone walking close behind for more than a few steps.

But as far as walking in opposite directions, I only cross the street to
get/give a better glimpse!  Unless the street is otherwise deserted and it's
dark, then I would give the other person as much clearance as reasonable.
