How do girls feel about being approached in the street?

Did you really just compare house parties and approaching on the street? Getting to know someone at a house party where people are to socialise and have fun is far more likely to yield results without coming off as a complete creep than hitting on random girls on the street purely because you happen to like the way she looks.

Have some standards instead of hitting on everything that moves. How desperate.

The underlying principles are the same based on what you said your previous post. I have friend's who's parents met each other off the street. Some happily married for 15+ years. You're going on like every single girl you see, you hit on. Couldn't be further from the truth...if you're attracted to someone you go for it.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with standards, and how desperate you are. In fact, it takes a lot of courage to go up to a girl, tell her that she looks beautiful today. If she says no, she says no and you move on.

I just follow them home usually.

No they aren't. People on the street are not there to be propositioned, they're simply going about their daily business while at a house party everyone's far more receptive and welcoming to all sorts of approaches. I'm baffled how you can even find someone attractive enough to pursue them on the street anyway. The only times I've been attracted to women was when we hit it off at a party or some other social occasion, got talking and then eventually things moved forward for both of us.

The fact you're concerned with 'the friend zone' speaks volumes about you

How do you girls feel about guys approaching you in the street for your number etc? I'm asking because I was in a restaurant a few days ago and there was this girl I really wanted to approach but she was sitting down with her friend and I didn't want to interrupt. Opportunity passed. How do you girls feel if I approached you in that situation? And how do you feel about giving out your number to a guy generally? Both gender's opinion welcome

It may just happen the love of your life is walking past you in the street...

Don't do it, its harassment. I'm not kidding.

Please see the everydaysexismproject for examples.

You mean talking women on the street is harassment? Please elaborate.

Lets be clear here: simply casually chatting to anyone, in an appropriate situation such as when standing next to them at the bar, waiting together at a bus stop, etc, is perfectly fine and commendable.

The times when it is unacceptable are:

a) a situation that is not conducive for casual conversation, for example going up to a girl sitting by herself on a park bench, or walking down the street with her friends.

b) an "approach", where your sole intent is to attempt to get her number for romantic/sexual reasons.

Both of these last two are harassment. I can't make that clear enough. Don't do it.

No. If she makes it clear she doesn't want to be bothered (she says 'sorry I'm not interested', or she keeps walking) and you still pursue, THEN it becomes harassment.

If you're in a queue or random place together then there's no problem in striking up a conversation. You have to be ready to abandon ship though if they make it clear that they're not interested. I've met friends and partners for example, through noticing they were wearing t-shirts of a band I liked and just started talking to them.
