I've never thought that any of the known victims knew Zodiac. I can't see any evidence that suggest that Dee knew who Zodiac was. Seems to me that her family had a lot to do with this idea. I've always thought that Zodiac pulled in on the drivers side of the car to scope out how many people were in the vehicle. When he noticed that the male was in the passenger side then he left so he could park behind them or on the passenger side. My guess is that leaving to only came back were for 2 reasons. First, he could get his car in a different position (straighter path to the male victim) without the victims getting too suspicious. Secondly, he could make sure that no cars where in close proximity to the park.
If and when this case if ever solved, the only thing that could actually shock me is if evidence was uncovered that the killer ever knew the victims.
There's also a chance - although I don't fancy it much - that the first car was unrelated.
But what you say makes sense to me: He arrives, scopes out the scene, notes where the victims are seated - and comes back to do his thing. Strikes me very much as something Z would do.
As for DF's "don't worry about it" comment, well - it's possible to interpret in all sorts of ways. As is MM's bizarre multilayer attire and the fact that we don't know precisely why the pair of them were in that parking lot to begin with. It all lends itself to speculation.
Personally I don't think she knew the attacker - which makes the above (all the "suspicious" circumstances) largely irrelevant. Those circumstances have been blown a bit out of proportion over the years too - more and more details about DF's personal life have been added and publicized, not necessarily by 100% credible sources/publishers.
