> In America, women usually get incredibly nervous and confused when I do this. They’ll make jokes to defuse the situation or sometimes ask me if I’m part of a TV show or something playing a prank.

Hm, I see this as largely part of the way the media in the U.S. portrays random communication between strangers: it must be malicious behaviour. When I'm in the U.S. striking up conversations with strangers and my friends there think I'm crazy. I'm just not american, which maybe gives me a buffer (and something to talk about).
