Afro, I've finally figured out what one of your problems is! Never Never Ever in a million years ever try to approach a girl (especially a Western girl) who is standing on the street and ask her if she wants a ride. We are conditioned at birth to believe that this is what psycho killers do! Also we probably think that you think we are prostitutes.
I have noticed here in Qatar that offering someone a ride is perfectly acceptable however, in the West it isn't. Not because it is not polite, but because we don't talk to strangers and we most certainly do not get in their cars. If the girls are ignoring you when you do this Afro its cause they are scared and hoping you will go away.

g24la, yes I would be at those places and I would be the girl trapped in conversation with the 50 year old while everyone her own age completely ignores her. :(
And TravelGate, I am back in the Q.A.T.A.R, enjoying the way I have to turn my wiper blades on in my car to wipe away the condensation.
