Recently I came across a funny video of a Japanese kid getting rejected when he offers a girl flowers. I enjoyed it so much, I had to post it on my site. You can find the video here:

The funny thing is, a lot of us do the exact same thing that the kid does in the video, if not quite as exaggerated. We place all this importance on women we don't even know, we go out of our way to woo them, and then when they reject or ignore us, we're crushed.
To me, the video highlighted the importance of outcome independence. When you're approaching girls, you can't expect a certain outcome or response her. Expectations just lead to disappointment, and even if she does give us what we want, we come across as approval seeking.
The best way to approach pickup is to look at it as a learning experience. Don't depend on the girl having a positive reaction to you, just go up with a positive vibe and have some fun. If she reciprocates, great. Is she blows you out completely, then you have a funny story that you can share later with the guys, and you've grown that much stronger from the interaction.
Hopefully, the kid from the video will be confident enough to look back a few years from now and laugh at himself for being such a dork. For myself, I'll take the video as a lesson to learn from, and not place too much importance on strangers I don't know.
