Secondly, once you get to know a guy better, do you still smile at them when you see or greet them, or does it beome a?The reason I ask is because a girl used to always smile when she saw me or I approached her,(and we would have good conversations on occasion). A few weeks later, and we have got to know each other a little better, only on a 'friendly' basis (she is attached, I am not- although I like her a lot), it is now very hard to get a smile out of her. To an extent I am the same with her.I really miss her beautiful smile- should i make more effort to smile at her when i see her, and should this result in more smiles back?Should I jump to the conclusion that she doesnt like me as much , and should she do the same?I guess there is a third question- do any of you not like being smiled at by a guy, and your reasons?Many thanks!

I think everyone likes receiving a smile but not everyone likes giving them.
I was in a takeaway yesterday waiting to be served and this little girl looked at me, I looked at her and she gave me a huge smile. It really made my day.

i think that everyone likes being smiled at don't they? doesn't matter to me if the person who smiles at me is a man or woman, attractive or ugly. it is just a nice signal, much better than being greeted by a miserable or unfriendly looking face. smile at her, she will probably do it back, and if not, so what? smile at everyone, it makes you look more welcoming and people will start to be much nicer to you. with regards to this girl you like, i think you are over-thinking and she has got a boyfriend anyway. maybe she realised you fancy her and she does not want to lead you on and make you think you have a chance as she is attached, maybe that's why she is not as friendly with you now. but don't worry, there are more girls in the world than just THAT one. smile at all girls, we like it, its not sleazy or cheeky its just nice
