The trouble with approaching a girl cold on the street (or anywhere else) is that the approach appears to the girl to come out of the blue. Imagine you are walking along and a guy appears and asks you how old you are (or a girl). What would you think? Firstly, you'd be very surprised. Secondly, you'd wonder why he wanted to know. Thirdly, you might think it a bit odd and just walk on
