I was just wondering how do women feel about a guy approaching her that she has never met.
Would most women go out with a strange guy?

I was approached twice in the grocery store, and was very flattered. Really admired their courage to approach a stranger for a date. I was married at the time though. If I hadn't been, the one guy I think I would have gone out for a coffee, and taken a chance to get to know him better.

Sure.

Everyone you first meet is a stranger.

I know how to keep safe.

I think it depends on the context of where they were approached.

I've tried to crouch behind dumpsters in the alley and then jump out but all it's gotten me is a liberal coating of pepper spray and a few kicks to the twins.

Ok, not to nit-pick but a "strange guy" is not the same as a "stranger". Would I go out with a "strange guy"? Of course not. If he's "strange" then I'd be running the other way.

Now, if a stranger approached me and we hit it off and we agreed to meet somewhere for coffee or drinks, then why not? Isn't everyone a stranger at first anyway? I don't know any strangers

Yes, if it's casual. For example, if the guys approaching me in grocery stores or coffee shops would follow up a casual chat with, "Want to sit down for some coffee/tea?", I would say yes. But an immediate dinner invitation? I'm not sure. I'd rather have a chance to get to know the guy first, in an informal environment, like the coffee corner in the grocery store, or nearby coffee shop. Guys seem to lack the confidence to suggest a coffee follow-up to a casual conversation. Some of them seem to have no idea how easy it is to get a spontaneous coffee date from women.

I would be truly flattered! And if he seemed nice I'd definitely be up for getting some coffee to continue our conversation.

It depends on how I'm being approached. I am not one to automatically open up to people, so just about every interest I've gotten into going on a date/out for coffee/etc has been met with a "No." If the guy is very aggressive, then it's a "Hell no." But if he's nice, I will just politely turn him down with an shy smile.

Dark parking garage? Probably not.

Interesting, that's how I met my wife

Anyhow, everyone starts off as a stranger.
