Agreed, it comes across as creepy because he's cornered her in an elevator and invited her into a private space where he holds control and power. I can easily see why a woman would feel threatened by this kind of proposition from a stranger. She's absolutely right, this is not a considerate approach given the circumstances, even if he meant well.
