>The problem is in the asking. If I see an attractive woman shopping and go speak to her it may be the 10th time she's been stopped in this one trip.

So what?

Do people really rule out meeting a partner and having a family because of a fear of maybe inconveniencing someone?

How did you take "rule out meeting a partner and having a family" from what I said? Dating in 2019 is really easy when I have free time I can line up multiple dates per week without having to resort to harassing every attractive woman I pass at the grocery store.

It’s not out of “fear of maybe inconveniencing someone”, it’s out of a sense of common courtesy.

There are plenty of social events that are appropriate for this sort of interaction. Running errands or just trying to go about your day is not one of those IMO, and if dozens of people accosted you per day you’d probably feel the same way.
