Ladies, would this work?
If you were out somewhere, say standing in line at starbucks or something. And a guy came up to you and politely asked you if he may ask you a question. Assuming that you'd say "sure", he would then say would you happen to be single? At which point you can either say no im seeing someone (whether you are or not, it give the chance to nicely say your not interested) or you can say "yes I am single". If you say that, then the guy can say "well I am heading to work (or a friends house or whatever) but I would like to take you to dinner or something sometime if your interested, may I have your number?"
What would your reaction be assuming the guy is good looking and appears normal?
I think this is a non creepy way to approach a girl with some confidence but not cocky if that makes sense. And if she says she is seeing someone, the guy can just say something like "well it never hurts to ask" and walk away.
Also, this is for a scenerio where "small talk" isn't always possible.

This sounds like a good way to start up one minute conversation. Much better than out at a bar. The girl you meet standing in line for coffee is not the same girl you would meet at a bar.For one she will be sober (hopefully) and not looking to hook up. Second she would be more like herself . Meaning how she would act, look and respond to your question.You have a good line I would use it.

Most likely the girl would say no. Life isn't like the movies. Instead of being overly forward, act interested in what the girl is like. Ask questions that won't put her on the spot or make her feel uncomfortable. With the way society is nowadays, some creeps have really ruined that approach

I think thats cool.
I would quite like that, its confident like you say but not letchy!!
The only problem is some women may say no as there are a lot of weirdos out there and you cant be too sure!!!
But its better than a crap chat up line!!

I would never date a guy who just came out and asked me out. I don't know if you're psychotic or just joking around or being serious; I don't even know anything about you. And if the first question out of your mouth is "Are you single?", I'm going to assume you're a pervert and tell you I'm not single.
Make the small talk. If the scenario doesn't call for small talk, you're going to have a hard time getting a girl to go out with you if she doesn't even know your name and the only thing you've ever said is, "If you're single, I'll take you out to dinner." No, thanks.

Thats an OK way to approach a girl. Makes her see that you noticed her in her normal day-not in a club when she's all dolled up.

That is a great way to approach a girl. I would defintely say yes. I think it's sweet and kinda romantic. I wish that happened to me.

I'd say it wouldn't work 90% of the time. I think most girls would LOL in his face and maybe say "no" or not answer. It really depends on what kind of girls you are trying to ask out. Have you tried it out? Let me know if it works.
