I dont think he was rude. If it were flipped and Guy approached Girl presuming she wanted him just for looking his way, and Girl said "I have a boyfriend," everyone would be cheering her on.

No they wouldn't. They would be saying she was being presumptuous and rude.

I don't see the issue?

She approached him...why? It didn't sound like it was because he was staring. It sounded like she approached him because she was interested. He said he had a girlfriend, and now he's rude.

How did she know he was staring unless she was looking at him, too?

speaking as a guy,
There are people that I look for, I haven't seen in a very long time, and often times I see a what appears to be a familiar face.
Your afraid of embarrassing them, or your self, if its not who you thought is was, and don't know their present situation.
If you've ever had your legs cut of and be thrown under the bus, you know what it's like to have loved, and had it taken from you. though 50 years pass the feelings don't.
Condemning a guy for studying a woman's face is really poor assessment.
A better introduction for her might be , "do I remind you of some one ? , it seems you watching me quite intently, or should I be concerned?"

That's what I was thinking too.

Should he or she responded differently?
The correct response to someone introducing themselves is not to state your relationship status. I introduced myself to a guy once who would always smile and say "hi" when we passed each other, and he was hot so I wanted to know who he was. I found out later that he was engaged, but luckily that was not how he responded when I introduced myself.
