This actually happened to me in the grocery store a couple of weeks ago.
I told him I was seeing someone, which isn't really a lie.
He insisted I take his phone number, though, and I still have it.
I thought it was a little odd, being approached that way. And I guess we made eye contact, but is more due to the fact that I passed him in the store several times and it seemed weird. Guess he was working himself up to it.
Also, I was sick with the flu at the time and I was congested and looked like shit, lol.
For me personally, I wasn't really comfortable being approached like that, but it didn't bother me, either. I think it would be a rarity, though, to actually go out with someone whom I met in this way. He'd have to be a really remarkable personality, which is hard to gauge in a random meeting that way.
