What does it mean when a girl says hello to you but isn't smiling (whether the girl is shy or not)?

[Anonymous]

Question says it all: does it mean anything if a girl says hello to you but isn't smiling when she says hello (whether is girl is shy or not)?

[xrawrosaurx]

hmm so. when I say hello and don't smile, I had a bad day. or is currently in a bad mood. it depends on the girl in question. if she's shy, then... she's shy. if she isnt, then she either is not happy or something like that.

but basically I always smile when I say hi. =) so yeah.

Yup, I agree. She could be having a bad day, is tired, in a bad mood or you caught her off guard. It's hard to tell. Do you say hi to her first? It's possible she's just being nice and saying hi back, but for me it's because of one of the reasons stated before.

Kinda both ways. once before she came to say hi to me and she wasn't smiling then and once I said hi to her and she wasn't smiling but the thing is she smiles whenever she talks to anybody(from what I've seen) EXCEPT me. before she used to smile when she said hi to me but now she stopped saying hi and doesn't seem to smile when I talk to her. this girl is shy and only says hi to 2 guys (me and a guy friend of hers. she stopped saying hi to me a week ago though). what do you think is going on?

Btw, her hi's confuse me since she, first of all, hardly ever says hi to guys and I'm not her friend in the first place.

This describes me perfectly. If you're not even her friend in the first place then she was going out of her way to say hi to you so that's a good sign. As for the whole smiling/stopping, I'm so nervous around this guy that I can't even move my face (no joke it's pretty bad) and then I got the impression he didn't like me back and was bothering him so I stopped saying hi. She may have felt the same way. Do you talk to he outside of school?

Also, since she stopped saying hi to you, did you stop saying hi to her? She might be testing you to see if you like her enough to say something to her.

[Asker]

Yeah, I have been saying hi to her a lot recently and she doesn't really smile when I say hi to her but she says hi back all the time. she still hasn't restarted her habit of coming to me and saying hi. another thing I noticed recently was that whenever she is at her friend's locker, she wouldn't look in her friend's locker or at her friend but would look in my direction (I saw her doing this like 5 times) but she would look at friend if friend started to talk to her. Does this mean anything?

It's possible she felt like she was coming on too strong by approaching you to say hi since after all you guys aren't really friends. The looking is definately a sign she's into you especially if it's happened more than once. She's distracted by you and probably thought you wouldn't notice if she snuck a glance. Do you talk to her outside of school? Getting to know her better will make it easier and comfortable for her to approach you. Start out as friends and invite her to hang out sometime.

Alright, Thank You!

she mite be or desnt want to be bother. so if she is not smilin jjust say hello back. because it will at least make he smile in da inside.

It means that she is simply greeting you, dipsh*t. Evidently, you are not exciting enough to garner a smile.
