I believe it's rude to "ask" someone unless there is a reason to believe they want you to try their car.

Even in the days when I "hunted" to get laid, I only approached a woman after I felt she was interested, never approached anyone without an invitation.

Sure we miss opportunities. While I was waiting to ascertain if a young woman was interested, some dude would walk up and ask to dance and she was gone. Other times I watched the guy being rejected.

Happens but for me, I think I need some ground to believe that I will have success before I pursue anything.
