Danger Basic Service:- traffic 12 o'clock

Flying VFR in a SEP class G airspace under basic service! I've twice in 2 months received
Traffic 12 o'clock same height reciprocal heading.

On both occasions, I've seen the traffic shortly after and decided there was enough difference in altitude so there was no danger of collision if we both maintained course.

Rules of the air suggest an immediate right turn to avoid a collision, (by both pilots?) but in one of these cases, this would have put me directly in the path of the other a/c which passed perhaps 1/2 mile to my right.

Any advice/comments?
