Generally, I'm fairly good at projecting "go away and leave me alone" body language and facial expressions, so I'm often able to successfully deter guys from reaching the point of asking me out if I'm not interested. It doesn't work 100% of the time, though.
Guys who do a cold-approach are less likely to pick up on the body language/facial cues, than guys who I actually know through work/friends/activities. I suppose it's because they have less to lose, they'll most likely never see me again.
I can think of one instance in the last year where I turned down a guy I know who asked me out. And a part of me semi regrets turning him down, even though I'm convinced it was the right decision. (He's a guy I work with, and while he's not in a position of authority over me, part of his job involves scheduling and prioritizing my bug fixes. I was not comfortable with the possibility of someone complaining that I got preferential treatment .) I did make it clear to him that if either of us changes jobs, to please please ask me out again. I probably didn't do a good job putting up my deflect-shield with him because I do actually like him.
I've never accepted an invitation from a cold approach. I have a firm policy of not dating unknown men.
Not necessarily fat, but unattractive in some way.
I've asked plenty of guys out and only twice has it resulted in a yes, and neither one of those ended up with an actual date.
I think yours is a rare, almost, unique case JJ...You're tall and tatted...yep, I get it...that said (and knowing I've seen your face pic) You're completely beautiful in your own way, of your own niche...If I was on the coast I'd make my best attempts to sweep you off your feet...

I know you meant well, but I just needed to do a little editing.
I keep posting this: Whole Foods in my town was voted Best Place to Meet The Opposite Sex, or something like that. Grocery stores and bookstores are happening!
You may be right. The last time I was approached was at Trader Joes. I think the guy had a white cane though Hahahahaha.
Stores are a great place. I get approached most often in a grocery aisle. If he just has beer and chips in his basket, he's out.
Even WalMart?
