If you’re chill yes, if she has headphones is, or currently reading, no.

Sometimes you just gotta go for it and move on if it doesn’t work out

As a girl who loves going to book stores I think that might actually be my favorite place I could get randomly approached and asked out by a guy.

I feel like unless it’s like a doctors office or a funeral or something really serious then it doesn’t matter where just ask the girl out. Like you could get approached anywhere at any time and there are sometimes where it might just be a little inappropriate but if that’s the case just apologize and say you didn’t know or something like just go for it

If you ask someone out at a funeral you’re a weirdo.

They expected a serious discussion on an obviously joking absurd hypothetical in the comments of Reddit for college kids apparently

In all fairness, the thing that likely brought this on was you saying “any place is appropriate.” #9 was bringing up an absurd hypothetical to point out that there are, in fact, places where this would be inappropriate. If you don't want people bringing up absurd hypotheticals, avoid speaking in absolutes unless you are 100% sure that the statement is true in all circumstances. Also this exchange was very amusing

Idk about what happened in your experience, maybe he was being weird about it and in that case I sympathize. But how do you think people met each other before phones and social media?
