Giving random money without freaking people out

There are times when I enjoy giving money to people who didn't ask for it. It helps me keep my perspective and there is just something rejuvenating about handing all of your cash over to someone you don't know.

I generally focus on college aged girls who may actually appreciate the money. Since I generally spend 5 minutes talking to them I tend to pick somewhat attractive girls because it's just more enjoyable ( I have given money to two random guys as well, it was just less fun). However, as you can imagine, this always comes across wrong and I freak people out very fast.

I am sincere in the my intentions, there are no strings attached, and I don't expect anything in return. I just enjoy games of chance and I like playing one.

What I usually do: I say hi, I'm doing a random experiment about money can I take a couple minutes of your time? If they say yes then I hand them whatever happens to be in my pocket (usually $30-$60 with ones always on the outside) and tell them that they can keep all of it, some of it, or give it back and all I ask is that they tell me why.

Of the 10-12 people I've tried this with one split it and gave me back half but when I went to walk away she stopped me, one counted it then told me how she would donate some and keep some but gave it all back anyway. A couple flipped through it before giving it back. Nobody kept any on the initial try.

So, is there any possible way to continue enjoying this game without freaking out everyone I ask? I just want to have some fun, I'm not looking for anything other than giving some money away but I don't want to cause problems either. Everyone I've asked says it's impossible to do without freaking people out but I'm hoping someone has an idea. It shouldn't be a bad thing to give money away.
