I had just gotten off of working a 10-hour shift and was standing in line at Walmart with a handful of junk food (was supposed to be my supper). A customer in front of me was taking forever getting a price check so I put my food on a shelf next to me. As soon as I did that, I heard "Is THAT what you're eating for supper?" I thought it was a joke. He asked what I was planning on making for supper, so I told him Mac N' Cheese. Turns out he was a chef and offered to cook for me. He could tell I was a little creeped out... so he even offered to take me out to dinner if I promised NOT to buy that junk food lol. I declined because I was exhausted from work and we parted ways.

Yeah, I'd think a lot of women would find that charming and not creepy. Hell, you'd think chefs would be swimming in it.
I just shake my head at what some women consider creepy. I guess it's tbefo be expected when women rarely do the approaching. It can be damn near impossible to think of something interesting to say to a complete stranger especially when you may have had a long day yourself, feel like you look like warmed over crap, etc. Sometimes it seems as if anything short of a romcom cliche(yet, of course, it has to be completely original) is unacceptable. I think way too many women equate awkward with creepy.
I don't think it's that terrible, I just think it's how you approach and how you speak to the woman would be how she takes it. Assuming the super straight forward "Hey baby how 'bout we go back to your place and let me pound it out." is too vulgar for her, where as approaching her, breaking the ice with a joke or commenting on something she's buying or wearing before actually asking her to coffee or dinner would be much better.
I don't know. To me I'd have to work to be creepy, but making conversations with people isn't hard for me to do.

My thoughts exactly. They are mustering up the courage to talk to them and because it's not Brad Pitt "UGH! AS IF! EFF off CREEPER!"
I've had what I would call creepy encounters with people who crossed the line (co-workers, dry cleaners), but I can't really think of a pickup line that was creepy enough to remember it. I know my girlfriends and sister used to get annoyed with some of the men who would hit on me because they felt they were too forward or looked at me "the wrong way."
The most memorable approach that has stuck with me was when I was out one night with my husband. I knew I had caught a gentleman's eye when I first arrived at the restaurant/bar. At one point during the night, my husband excused himself to the men's room while I waited outdoors (waterfront restaurant). Out of nowhere, the gentleman approached me and said "I just have to tell you that you have the most beautiful smile." I replied "Thank you" and he followed with "Enjoy the rest of your evening," smiled and walked away. I was so flattered. For some reason that really stuck with me and I don't know if it was the approach, the man who did it or a combination of both.

Probably cause he did it in a classy way... paid you compliment and didn't leer at you, just kept walking...... probably saw you were on a date too. IDK.
There's been times where I've a good looking woman who was well put together and I wanted to say something nice but nowadays, you never know... they might take it the wrong way.
Sorta sad when you have to second guess saying something nice to a woman for fear of offending her.....

Same here. I don't usually get what I consider pick up lines. Just slimers.
As for cold approach, Im not a fan, but earlier this evening I was walking downtown and a guy started walking in step next to me. I wasnt sure what he was doing at first, and then he said "hi." Damn if I didn't melt like a pad of butter on a hot biscuit.
He says, he see a woman he really likes and you wanna get her. You walk up to her and ask her how she likes her eggs in the morning.
The answer, of course, is "unfertilized"
