Anybody ever have any luck with asking out a total stranger, not in a bar scene, but someone you meet on the street, in the produce section, or at a comic shop even?
Last night I was at Border's having a "discussion" with my roommates ( some would call it bickering ), when this beautiful girl in a purple top, and flowing white skirt came up to us and started looking at books nearby. Then she starts to chime in a little bit on our conversation, informing us that there is a Peru in Iowa, and that it apparently has wonderful windmills. Okay, so we have weird conversations in bookstores.
Anyway, I was so stunned be her beauty that my brain shut down, and I couldn't think of anything witty to say, that wouldn't sound like a stupid pick-up line, so I just clammed up and eventually left the store.
I can't get this woman out of my mind, and the stupid thing is, I had a similar experience like this a few weeks back, and I told myself the next time it happened, I would muster up the courage and do something about it.
I'm not normally this flaky around women, just when it really counts. Sheesh.

her eyes tell you everything
I always say try. Especially if you're never going to see the person again. A lot of girls are flattered if you talk to them and try and get their number or whatever (if you've already had a little convo in a book store or wherever).
I've had pretty good luck. I actually am abandoning trying actually relationships to just talk to girls in grocery stores and whatnot.
The other time this happened to me was a hostess in a restaraunt. In that situation, I never know if the woman is flirting to be flirting, or just being polite because it's her job. I'm terrible at reading women! It's a miracle I get anywhere with them at all!

I've had pretty good luck (my best was the girl working the counter at a movie theatre... I went and talked to her while the movie was playing), but none of these gals were exactly classy, so that what you will out of that.

I think that she is wrong about Peru, Iowa. I have never heard of it and Pella is the only place famous in Iowa for it's windmills.

Its hard for me to ask out strangers because the majority of the populace is straight, and nobody wears a shirt that says "I'm gay" (though pink polo shirts say it indirectly).
I was so sure this guy was hitting on me at a Starbucks once, and I thought he was really charming and cute so I put my hand on his knee after he put his on mine. He immediately got up and yelled "I'm not a fag dude" and stormed out. Since then, I just don't ask out strangers.
