<human>: about me: 20 y/o, sorta introvert, good looking/very good looking, very nice&respectful person.

A few days ago my uncle (who's a few years older than me) said that when he was my age he used to go to the malls and hit on girls, and he suggested i'd do it. On the way back home today I went through the mall to buy something and noticed a few attractive girl though I just couldn't get myself to do this.

The thought that kept going through my head is that the girl and the people around will think I'm some desperate creep.

My question to you girls is just what do you think of guys that hit on women, and how do you feel yourself being approached by a 
complete stranger? Take into consideration that I am not a creep at all (I'm very respectful, good looking, smell okay, dress okay) and also that my goal is not sex but a real connection.

By approaching I don't mean doing any "pickup" stuff. I don't know how to and I dont want to. I just mean go, say "hey" and maybe give a compliment to make sure she understands why I approached her. Also, obviously, as part of being respectful I'll do my best not to bother a woman if she shows any signs of disinterest.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Uncle suggested I try to get relationship via cold-approach in the mall. I found myself unable to do this because I feel like a creep. How do women feel about this granted the guy is respectful & good looking?
