MissHollywood Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Guys on LS, what do you think of 1. a girl smiling at you, 2. an attractive girl smiling at you, 3. a girl you're not interested in/attracted to smiling at you, 4. a girl you don't think is good-looking smiling at you? The reason I'm asking is I wonder if girls, who take the initiative of smiling or showing their interest, would end up looking like a fool to the guys if the interest isn't two-way. Or do guys appreciate girls smiling at them, whether the guys are interested or not?
Bejita463 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I don't tend to read into smiles like that at all, but I am a shy-guy. I base who I try to strike conversation up with based on how friendly I perceive them to be, and that is where the smile comes into play. What I am trying to strike a conversation up FOR depends on how attractive the person is and whether or not I am single.

All mean absolutely nothing that pertains to interest. Anyone can smile at anyone...it's a smile. When you over-analyze something as quaint as a smile your bound to run into a brick wall. Conversations tell alot more. Only if the women is giving you eyes in a social situation and looking *directly* at you is she interested. If you are in a situation where one of you is working and the other isn't, I would just take it as a courtesy smile due to one of you being on the job. However, if they remember things about you, your name, what you talked about last time they saw you, things you mentioned to them. They might be interested. You remember things about people you are interested in, and you make time to be with them. Period. Smiling is just smiling.

That means no guy would think a girl is interested when a girl smiles at him? Or is that being too simplistic?
Stockalone Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Or do guys appreciate girls smiling at them, whether the guys are interested or not? Getting a smile is certainly not a bad thing. However, I usually don't think that a woman who smiles at me is interested. I have appraoched women who did smile at me only to be shot down, so there isn't (at least not for me) a way to discern between a woman who is just being friendly or one who is interested. What I can tell you though, is that I will not approach a woman who doesn't smile at me.
Chicago_Guy Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Smiling and staring is definitely a good thing, although sometimes guys get confused. I think that sometimes girls get a little nervous and then just stare at a guy they like but don't smile and that can be confusing to the guy.

Same as #3 As for looking like a fool, welcome to the world of being a man, where you look like a fool more often than not

Author MissHollywood Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 From all the posts, I see that everyone thinks smiles are a good thing and not necessarily romantically-linked. I would have thought men tend to instinctively think a woman smiling at him likes him.
