Meeting women on the street?

I'm living near NYU right now, and I can't walk down the street without passing at least 3 girls that I'd like to get to know better (if you know what I mean). I wish I had the balls to approach them, especially seeing as how I'll probably never seen them again, but I'm not particularly attractive and I don't know what I'd say. When you're drunk at a bar with your friends on a Saturday night, you don't feel guilty for hitting on girls b/c of the setting. But broad daylight on a Sunday afternoon alone is a completely different story.

My question to you guys is, has anyone here actually had experience initiating conversation with pretty strangers on the street in broad daylight? Should I not even bother with girls that are walking and just focus on girls that are stationary (eg. sitting on a park bench)? How do I even approach them without scaring them and wtf do I say? Share any stories/advice.

wtf, just compliment them on some shit or anything to get them interested and if they say no then move on. there will be another one a block down. being able to talk to women in any situation shows confidence and blah blah confidence is great blah blah.

not sure if this works out for everyone here because if you just worked a 100 hour week you're probably looking kinda cracked out and this shit doesn't work if you're looking like an asshole.

if shes that much in a hurry and walking fast then you have no chance anyway

Yea depending on how you look the girl just migh tthink you are a weirdo if you approach her while she is walking. One of the best things to do is to spot her from a distance and try to make eye contact. If you can and she looks at you with some sort of glare in her eyes than it might be okay to approach her with simple hello, where are you from? (especialy if she is not american looking :) . ) Usually you can tell by her eyes if she has already accepted you and would be fine with you approaching her.

Or you could go up to her and say hey I look like hell from working too much but had to come up and say hi - here's my card, look me up if you would be interested to meet up for a drink. Close with a joke about making sure you'll get some beauty sleep or something along that line. Walk away confidently and don't look back. I promise it's not that hard!
