I'm placing myself in the perspective of this character; that's different.
I am answering from the perspective of that a hypothetical other person of indeterminate gender, whom I have never spoken with, who has only seen what I look like, wants to spend time with me — my own sex, as well as that of the other person is not relevant for my decision to decline.
Do I also need to put Myers–Briggs or zodiac signs into consideration? blood type?
P.s.: Finally, let's simply be honest that such a scenario is unlikely to happen, at least where I live. Perhaps this is more common in Japan with the “love confession” culture, but here in the Netherlands the idea of asking a total stranger for a relationship is considered flagrantly ridiculous so it's all a theoretical quæstion for me to begin with. I will most likely live my entire life and die without this ever happening to me, especially because I've long past the secondary school years where this would perhaps be the most likely to occur.
In real life, at least where I live, one does not go out to ask a stranger whom one doesn't know for a relationship, exactly because it is so ridiculous as I said it is.
Quite clearly I don't identify with the female lead, as I said I would have done things differently.

Pseudoscientic concepts such as “sexual orientations” play no factor in my decision here.

I do not want you to think of me as anything in particular as none of the categories you listed are relevant to my decision — what is relevant is that the person accosting me does not know me and has only seen what I look lik, and that is the only thing I commented on.

Of course there is. My own sex has no bearing on my logic here and “sexual orientations” have no bearing on anything as they're flagrant pseudoscience.
No “guy” who wants to socialize with me, having never spoken to me at all, is “high level” in my own præferences.
And yet I've encountered many males, and females for that matter, that were very much interested in talking to me based on things I said that didn't even know what I looked like — nor knowing my gender by the way, that thing you seem to care so much for.
I have no interest in being “persued” by anyone who knows nothing about me.
And yet without heeding your advice, my love life with males has been as successful as with females.
