Social Dilemma: Is it Okay for a Man to Approach a Woman In a Store?

Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Ken and it's about meeting people. Here's his email: Hi Jaime. I just had a discussion with a woman who stated that men should never approach a woman unless its in a social setting such as a bar or party, but never on the street or in a store, or a bus or coffee shop, etc. Now I can concede the world has its share of very creepy guys, but let's say we're at a retail store and a decent guy sees a woman he's attracted to and, never knowing if he would see her again, especially in a social setting, he approaches her with kind words...not an animal or creepy. And if she's not interested, he walks away knowing he tried. The woman I debated with says never....never approach a woman unless it's a social setting. Is she correct? Never approach a woman? If so, what happens if you're not a social animal that goes to bars or parties? Also!! Wouldn't a bar or party be the place to find creepier guys than a grocery store? Thanks ! Ken. This is an interesting question. I think it's okay to approach a man or woman in a store or coffee shop, but the way you approach is the key. And as soon as someone says they're not interested, it's important to walk away. If a guy starts with the compliments that are clearly just a way to hit on someone, that's creepy, but if it's an organic conversation, I think it's okay. What about you?
