1a approaching (pro = tom, prostitute , aching- desperate)
14d) oncoming (anagram)
7d) STRICKEN [=smitten]

it's right to be surprised = anagram of its+r = STRI
about = C [circa]
street lothario = KEN [Barlow the character in Coronation Street]

Thank you pomona and bibblebub, I would never have got 7d!
Just need one now if the rest are ok!-
5d Native warriors essentially ineffective (5) I?P?S impis? but why?
the P (possibly doubtful) comes from 9a: 'As to go onabout one not being 'ere - i've gone with aspirate?
(w)impis(h)
and aspirate is ok
