Search Results: asking for a girl''s number

What i mean by a "cold approached" is meeting for the first time, having a brief conversation, and asking for your number.

The kind of scenario I'm imagining is just introducing myself, having a short conversation, and if that goes well, say that we should hang out,, and ask for her number.

How would you react if a generally likable and attractive guy cold approached you? Would it be a turn off? Enough to turn him down ghost him?
Please vote while keeping that hypothetical situation in mind.

I've done it a few times at my college campus. But have only been turned down or not received responses to my texts.

So what I'm trying to figure out is if cold approaching is a failing endeavor in general, or if I just need to be more personable and build more confidence/confort.

I have not provided "it tepends" as an option because dating depends on the person in general. You're just not going to click with everybody regardless of how you meet them.

When I transferred to my current location. There was a girl there who took an interest in me right away.
After a while, I thought it was clear she was into me but I didn't ask her out cause I didn't want to risk a sexual harassment deal.
She wound up asking me out, we went out to her drinks and she asked to go back to her place. I thought we were gonna hook up but I wound up meeting most of her family.
After that we had lunch a few times, she said she wanted to go out again, but when I asked her she wouldn't confirm the dates.

Eventually it disolved and she got back together with her ex and it was awkward for a while since she was so hot and cold.

Lately she's been all about being included in any conversation I'm in and she threw it out there how she was missing going out to certain events and would ask me the last time I did them. All the while she tries to always create and make eye contact with me while I'm doing something.
But she's still with her boyfriend and told me it's in a it's complicated situation, and it's just as rocky as before because he can't get his finances straight.

She randomly asked me the other day what apartment complex I live in and I told her. She said she's looking for a place for her and her man. Then she proceeded to tell me she was taking a month off of work.

My friends say she's still into me, and since things aren't going well with her guy, she's probably going to give me a booty call. Especially since she's reminded me twice she still has my number. She's even said she's wondered why I don't text her anymore.
