You’re walking along a path and another person approaches from the opposite direction.
Do you tilt your head to signify which direction around them you intend to go? Is that head tilt understood by others?
Should we start pointing also?
Install hand blinkers?
No absolutely not. This is the first I’ve ever heard about it and don’t intend to start
people usually look where they are going
I’m just stop and wait. I have implement in my human system this function that when see someone approching is trigged, no need to extra variables its just start with waiting till that someone is passed, then function end.
what if both parties apply this strategy?

It happen sometimes. That’s a critical error, I faint out and reboot.
what if the other party reacts with a reboot of their own?
Naw, but we do nod our heads to one another in passing greeting. It’s a way of life in Philly.
I tend to go with the car lanes and pass on the right. And when there’s people on both side approaching (ie: at a pedestrian crossing) I find it helps when you look exactly where you’re going, for example looking in between those two persons to make it obvious you’re going there.
No those seemingly harmless encounters are meant to be small games of chicken. whoever budges and makes way for the other male has just become the submissive male.

For someone who actually thinks like that, being insecure about how someone else might think they’re the “submissive male” makes them the “submissive male”. “Real men” aren’t going to care what some random person who will never affect them thinks, especially if it’s silly stuff like this.
Alpha posturing aside, a lot of people make kinds of unnecessary sacrifices out of insecurity also. It’s good to start trying to develop the habit of catching yourself and doing whatever you wanted to in the first place regardless of what people think (within limits, obviously).
I have an led light bar attached to a LIFO battery. It plays a message with arrows. That way approaching pedestrians are aware of which way I’ll be navigating around them.
Only if eye contact is made. Otherwise, hand gestures.
I usually walk in their way on purpose, until we bump together. In the following intense moment, I maintain eye contact until we are near enough to kiss. Then we start making out on the street. In the end I wake up and realize I won’t ever get into this situation anyway as I never leave the basement.
I kind of twist and put my hand behind my back to make room on one side if it looks like there won’t be enough. Most people understand that
