Approaching people who look single at coffee shops is a big no-no.

People go to coffee shops to have coffee. Or to work. They don't go to be approached by single dudes.

Look on social media for singles events where people are specifically there to meet potential romantic partners. You'll have better luck and won't come across as creepy.

I see nothing wrong with trying to strike up a conversation with a stranger, asking if I can buy them a coffee or sit with them. They can always say no. Who cares if I come across as creepy to one person? To another they may like the company or be looking for someone themselves.

People can always say no, but sometimes people feel pressured to be agreeable.

If they're looking for someone themselves, why aren't you just sitting there so they can approach you?

Stop being a creep.
