If the average person decided to ask 20 people out on dates, after making casual small talk with them, how many dates do you think they should get?

This is a raw charisma and intent thing. I feel confident if I angled the question, didn't concern myself too much about where things will go, I could probably get 5 yes answers just cold approaching as an average.

But that assumes so much. Going out because hey, you're new in the city, they seem cool and you didn't feel like eating alone so its phrased as you buying dinner and they sharing things about the city? High enough success. Likely to work just fine if you come across as a generally good person. Basically dinner for dinner company.

If its clear you want to go home together as the goal? Very different.

Depends on their gender, an average woman would probably get around 50% and the average man would get less than 5%.

If you ask out a good friend, you might have a 50% rejection rate but if you ask out a stranger, you have a 99% rejection rate. This is true for the average guy, I’m not speaking of elite people like investment bankers or surgeons.

don’t ask a large number of people out just to ask them out. wait for someone you really like

The average is about 10% so I would say 2.
