According to women I've talked to, young women tend to get flirted with, asked out, even sexually harassed, on a regular basis. There's obviously variation based on how attractive the girl is, but even ugly girls probably get asked out every now and then. How well-received your flirtations are will depend a lot on the girl's past experiences and whether she's fed up with guys not leaving her alone. You'll probably get better results with average-looking women than with gorgeous women. Also, your advances are more likely to be well-received if you're a hot guy like me, than if you're an average- or below average-looking guy. I've gotten mixed responses from women I've flirted with, but usually the only time I get a bad reaction is when I do it in a completely inappropriate way (e.g. talking to a girl during a manic episode, or talking to a nurse while I'm a patient at a hospital), and even then, women often act flattered to find me flirting with them. So it depends a lot on how good-looking/charming you are.
