I don't think it's weird if a random girl smiles at me in public. On the contrary, I'm willing to bet that most guys would return the smile without thinking twice. Problem is, a smile is usually not going to be enough if you actually want to meet the guy. As hard as it sometimes is, you might have to do the smile, and if he smiles back, summon up the courage and say something.

Well I'd rather see a woman smile at me as opposed to scowling.

Yes... If you are shy, you should be working on talking to EVERYONE, though....or at least an effort to talk to people that give you eye contact....

smile, wave, wink, do whatever you find comfortable the worst case he will not even notice. The best case you could find someone to spend some quality time with. You determine if your pride is too high to allow you to handle rejection. Men deal with it on a daily basis on here and in the world.

I always smile at guys that I fancy.

It's an invitation for them to come over and chat. If they don't, they're not interested.

Oh, and try waving to guys too. THAT WORKS.

I don't think it's just that. I'm gonna speak for myself and say that sometimes I'm slow and don't get the hint. You're better off throwing something at me. And sometimes I think too much and I kick myself later for not making a move. I can't tell you how many times I've made that mistake.

If you see someone you are interested in, when you walk by say, "Hi, how are you?" If not walking by than get eye contact and smile. That will usually get the trick unless he is not interested or is a moron.

OP:

Based upon your looks, I don't see why you would have a problem anyway.

Just courage up and say hi or smile at someone.....

More often than not you will probably get good vibes and find what you seek.

Best of luck.

I worked with the public and been hit on women at work and I probably seen them all. Smiling is a starting point but not enough. While you look at him start playing with your hair, this gives big clue to the guy that you like him.
If you walk past him, turn your head around toward him, not your entire body then smile and give him a look for a brief moment. Nothing is better than walking about to a guy and talking. It is all about body language. Some women will touch the guys hand, shoulder or hand briefly.

Society anxiety can be cured with a good healthy diet and exposure to sunlight, if you're indoors go out a lot more. In the summer months try go roller blading on paths or something where there's a lot of men.

Duh, of course you should smile at them. A smile is probably the biggest and best recognized form of non verbal communication. How about trying to talk to him to, that will really get him interested.

If you have the latter, you should see a professional. Which is probably true.

I mean really. You are asking strangers whether you should smile at people?
Children do it all the time, for free even. You don't always have to give them candy for them to do it. Sometimes they just do it. Amazing.


do u like it wen a girl smiles at u in public wen u dont know her?

Not nearly as much as when they find a reason to talk to me.
If they smile, and I notice, I just smile back and go about my day. But mostly because that is the environment that I grew up in. People smiled at each other and it means nothing at all.


Now a days i know people would think im weird if i smile at them well most people.

That's the social anxiety talking. If people think you are weird, does that mean you will catch cancer? Or leprosy and stuff will start falling off?

Yes. You should definitely smile at him. He's probably thinking the same thing, and if you smile at him...guess what...he's going to smile back and then who knows what will happen.

A smile can go a long way and more often than not evoke thoughts of you. However on the street a smile is a smile, its a kindness and in most cases will lead to nothing more then a return smile so there's nothing to be shy about. In a bar a smile can be more inviting. If you enjoy the feeling you get when you smile at an attractive stranger take a step further and ask for the time while blatantly sporting your on watch in clear sight.

A smile is great, but usually not enough. Most people will smile back and say hi if you go out of the way to do so yourself and think nothing of it. A smile is hardly a show of interest when much of the time, especially in a work environment, most people are supposed to be friendly(I'm pretty sure every waitress I've ever had did not have a crush on me). So with that in mind you need a lil entra effort.
Basically smile say hi and try to find an excuse to have a conversation, the guy should take the hint and move it along from there if he is interested. Guys are dying for women to help them out and let them know they are interested. It doesn't happen often and guy feel like they win the lotto when it does.

This response was written by a woman who was answering a question in the "Ask a Girl" forum. One of the best damn responses I've ever read on this site:




Keep approaching people until you realize you cannot possibly predict how a conversation will go before you start one. The only way to overcome fear is take action.




Shyness is not necessarily your fault, but also is generally not an attractive trait. The good news is that you can overcome it.

If you are shy and you muster the courage to smile at a guy who is also a bit shy, it could feel awkward and not go anywhere.
A much better option is to just say Hi and make small talk. Almost everyone will respond to conversation; not so much with a smile.

Just smile and say hi to anyone you find attractive or interesting and it will completely change your life...mostly for the better.

Why couldn't you smile at a cute guy in public??? But honey, no offense, but fix your hair first. What's with the two bulbous portions at the top of your crown? Looks like you're covering horns.

Other than that, you are a sexy chic who can get any guy she wants!
