Men: how often do you approach prospective women and of those you approach, how many do you ask on dates? How successful are you (what is your batting average)?

Women: how often do men ask you on dates? And how often do you accept?

I mainly have to approach random people so they are less likely to be receptive to me as opposed to friends of friends, but maybe I'll ask out 20 women in a year (and flirt with 40 or so) and get 3 dates. I've never had role-models for this sort of thing so I don't know what batting average to expect as reasonable.

Some of my female friends are only asked about 4 times a year, and they never turn down a date unless the guy is a total creep.

What are your experiences like?
