Good for you! FYI for all dating folks out there: women do not want you to approach them in the street. Like, let's say, 99.5% of the time.

  This. I'm legitimately scared when random guys approach me, as I've had guys grope me, try to corner me, etc in past. Sadly, I feel like these are common experiences for women.

    Yeah this reminds me of the Louis C.K. bit: "How do women still go out with guys, when you consider the fact that there is no greater threat to women than men? We’re the number one threat! To women! Globally and historically, we’re the number one cause of injury and mayhem to women. We’re the worst thing that ever happens to them!" "If you’re a guy, imagine you could only date a half-bear-half-lion. ‘Oh, I hope this one’s nice! I hope he doesn’t do what he’s going to do.’" Every woman I know has had one of those common experiences -- many times -- but honestly when I was younger man I really had no idea what women go through or the frequency of it. My wife has had more than few things happen to her over the years.

      That’s really strange coming from Louis CK himself.. wtf man.

      It's weird that he did so much self aware material about male sexual misconduct. That self awareness kind of makes the Louis J.O. thing a lot more sinister.

  What else are you supposed to do then? Hope you miracously match with them somewhere online? If you like a woman, shouldn’t you approach her and start conversation? I understand women get constantly harassed, I have sisters and I know this very well. But I’m sure most women would be ok with a guy approaching them to strike conversation, as log as they are respectful and not breaking any boundaries set by the other party.
