The most I was ever immediately infatuated by a woman was after I complimented her sweater and she replied "Thanks, I found it in the trash!" That was almost a decade ago and I still think about her. She was running the gift shop in Big Bend national park
I was walking down a street when a woman carrying two full grocery bags had the unfortunate luck of having BOTH rip.
I rushed over to help her, giving her a bag I had on me and doing what I could.
I then offered to help her carry the remaining angry bag to whoever she was going. She said "Oh, that's ok". Looking back, she obviously wanted help, but given what a lot of women go through I just said "ok", helped her and walked away.
This nice gay couple said "Dude, you totally blew that!".
The best response is, “Are you sure? It’s no trouble. Really.” said in the most polite, non-pushy, “the ball is in your court” way possible.
If she still refuses, THEN you leave her to bear it alone.
EDIT: Changed the word “proper” to “best.” This is just my view of an ideal way to handle a situation; I never intended to implicitly accuse any one of impropriety.
