Etiquette On the Street

[dolphin08]

Note: I realize that this isn't 100% relevant to dating, but it is relevant. If I know how to interact appropriately with women, I'll be that much more likely to date them .

 

When you're walking down the street (or around your university or what have you), how do you interact with people? Do you smile at everyone? Do you just simply not interact with anyone you don't know? Do you smile at pretty girls? Do you size them up? Do you do more?

 

Is smiling an indication of interest? I'm trying to figure out if it'd be appropriate for me to simply smile all the time at anyone, girls and guys alike. Would that come across as weird? If so, isn't it also a little ****ed up to ignore anyone except pretty women, and only smile at them?

 

I'm a good looking guy, and sometimes random women look at me. I'm not sure how I should respond. I normally look back, but I feel that I might be coming across as creepy. Should I be smiling? Sometimes I do, and sometimes they smile back, but my smile is usually too subtle and quick to even be noticed. I'd have a much more attractive (and less fleeting) smile if I knew that it was appropriate.

 

I'd especially appreciate responses from women: how would you want an attractive guy to interact with you on the street? Would you want to be noticed? Would you want to be smiled at? Without a smile, is it creepy?

 

Thanks

I like it when a cute guy notices me. I like it when they smile at me and say "hi". I usually just say "hi" back. I think that's nice.

Don't smile at guys if you are into women.

That would only be applicable if you were in a small office atmosphere, seeing the same people everyday-and even then a simple "hello" would suffice.

 

Not at a big university, nor on the street. It has a pick up connotation.

 

As for girls-I'm no pro at flirting, but if you are attracted to her initially-a few glances her way is good. And then hopefully if you see the same girl (girls?) in a class, you'll know she is more open to being approached.

 

I think if they are looking at you, and you feel an attraction, then a little smile-no teeth, would be a nice compliment for the girl.

I don't smilel or look at anyone when I walk down the street. I never make eye contact or look at other people. I just pretend I'm really into looking at the stores/window shopping etc. I am just anti-social I guess.

 

I would NEVER smile at a stranger. I don't smile very often period. And to be honest I would think it's kind of weird if a stranger smiled at me for no reason, it would make me walk the other way real fast to avoid him. I just find it strange to smile at people you don't know, I just like to mind my own business. If you don't know me then don 't smile at me...

aww i love it when a cute guy smiles and give me a friendly hi!

 

I think the trick is to look friendly, maybe even a bit shy... nothing cuter than a shy, friendly handsome guy!

 

I would keep that to just girls you like. Otherwise you would look like a derange stranger who has a fixated grin on his face and looks at everyone...now THAT is creepy.

Thanks, everyone. Any more advice?

Tip, here is how to do a flirty smile.

 

Look at her, smile, look away. Then look back at her again. Do this quickly and make sure you have eye contact with her!

 

Have fun!
