Guys: Do you get creeped out if a random girl smiles at you?

[Anonymous]

Before I was very self conscious and NEVER made any eye contact with a guy. Now, I'm beginning to make eye contact with random eyes, I want to add a smile too but then I think that's too much and the guy will be weirded out by a random girl smiling at him.

So guys - do you find it weird/creepy if a random girl makes eye contact AND smiles at you?

a smile is never bad, it opens doors , makes you seem approachable if done right.

who would you go to first someone smiling or someone scowling or anoid look about rthem. that would be obvious right the person smiling.

it would also depend on the guy also if he were outgoing or an introvert (shy quiet type guy)

an outgoing guy wouldn't think a thing about it he'd smile back and start talking like he knew you forever. the shy guy might get nervous and blush if he thought you were looking at him , maybe wonder why. you don't say what you believe yourself to be ?(plain ,cute ,pretty or a knock out)

actually with a shy guy a plain jane girl would have him just as nervous because any girl might cause that reaction with them.

he might even look around the area if you looked at him and smiled just to make sure it was him and not someone behind him or close to him to receive that smile. h3 might feel like runninbg but if you approached him and started a convo (?still smiling) he'd probably be on cloud 9 knowing a girl paid him some attention.

again a smile is never wrong or inapproperiate

If that's you in your profile, your smile wouldn't creep me out, but I'd get nervous, cause you are HOT!

That's like me except I'm still kinda shy..I heard guys love it when we smile after or during making eye contact with them.it let's them know were interested.make sure its not a fake smile though

[doodleheads]

i get smiles by guys and girls all the time especially at gym, it's kinda awkward but depending on my mood of the day i'll either smile back or just ignore it

I have a hard time smiling myself. Stems from hang ups at seeing nerdy pictures of me smiling also reading that women find brooding guys more masculine.

With that said I got two smiles. A professional/platonic smile and a flirty smile. The platonic one is innocent and I’ll give it to anyone. The flirty one is much more rare and I’ll use it when I’m trying to be funny or compliment someone I like.

The thing is I will always give a professional smile to anyone regardless of what mood I’m in (if they smile first).

I would love it if girls smiled at me.

Just be aware that most of the ones that follow up with hitting on you are players only after sex, particularly if they aren't nervous.

The ones that don't hit on you are one of the following

- the players too busy with other stuff not worth mentioning

- the seemingly elusive (at least to good looking girls) single nice guys

- the nice guy who is already taken but won't be offended or gossip if you ask if he is single

- a gay guy who may or may not just be friendly

telling the difference between a gay guy, a taken nice guy, and a single nice guy you'd like to date is easy, ask him out. The gay guy won't care, and the nice guys will be nice about it either way.

Dat's just so awesomely explained that yarr ..

[bluetoblack99]

Nah. Not at all. I think this worry stems from having random guys smile at you. So if you don’t find some of those guys attractive they are automatically “creepy” right? If they did nothing else but smile, make brief eye contact and nada else you ladies avoid throwing that creep judgement. Different story if you were 14 and the guy was 45.

Nah if the guy is in realistic dating range and has no obvious signs of being married or taken then it’s fine. If he finds you attractive it makes him more comfortable approaching you.

[Friendlybro79]

First. The random eyes was very funny. Haha. I saw you're update, and I'm thinking that makes much more sense lol.

I don't know why someone would be creeped out over a random smile. This should not be something that creeps people out but it does for some I think. For me I'd smile back. For someone else who's not used to face to face interaction with a stranger maybe it's odd.

This is when I say I miss days before all this technology. Social media might have made more people anti social than it intended to.

[bluetoblack99]

It’s because women get creeped out by random guys who smile at them (it’s okay of the guy is attractive by her subjective judgment though).

I got a platonic/professional smile and a flirty smile. The difference is in my eyes.

[KERMlT]

No but I don't take anything by a woman who smiles at me or even flirts for that matter. I'm not like most guys though when it comes to the typical reaction. A woman kisses me just means she wanted to at that moment. The next day it might be a different story so I don't really dwell on that. I guess most guys expect her to kiss him again.

So the smile might be more for her own confidence than reading anything into it. I'll smile back and go on with my business.

[Dylan1989]

No I wouldn't feel creeped out. I would think the girl is nice and polite and approachable. Smiling tells me that you are up for a conversation and would welcome my approach. So keep smiling!

[shiller]

That'd indicate that you were interested in a guy so don't be surprised if they approached you afterward, In regards to smiling, it's okay to make short eye contact while smiling but not too long ie no more than a few seconds.

[maria2716]

why not too long or no more than a few seconds? lol

[Rashad]

no I wouldn't be creeped out... I would approach her right away with more confidence since I have a sign that she is kinda feeling me :)... 30sec to 1 min eye contact is enough for me to make a move too lol

[Sirhc001]

Nope. Not creepy at all. It would be great if more girls would start doin that. Girls are always so damn hard to read. Girls that make eye contact and smile are extraordinary

[Lemonjacket]

Definitely not. If a girl can hold eye contact with me AND smile, whether she's attractive or not, in my eyes, she would be considered charming, and VERY confident. It would also make my day. :)

[Livestrong58]

Not at all, I usually end up smiling back and looking down or back at whatever I was doing. Most the guys are right, we always take it as flattering almost 100% of the time

[sikoo31]

no, not at all.

a random girl smiled at me just yesterday actually. I don't know why she did, but she did and I was like what's up? and that was it.

[sikoo31]

plus you're cute, so I'd actually like it if you did smile at me haha

[superuss]

Guys don't find it creepy. You should definitely go ahead and start smiling.

[thisGUYknows]

no lol. why would we? people need to stop being so skiddish. life is short, live it.

[SunSeeker]

No? I would like that actually, I do the same thing myself sometimes.

[kingofnature]

No there's nothing creepy about that. Just shows interest and openness.

[DeanWillis]

this never happens to me. if it did, I would be happy. why would it creep a guy out? maybe if she was fat and/or ugly...

[MikeK]

Moviedude is right -

A man will ALWAYS feel some degree of being flattered if a girl smiles at him...

[rip22]

Well it depends on how you are making the approach or attempt to smile. In my opinion there's could be little nerves but that's all, anyway if I get a smile from a girl I don't know (which doesn't happen too often) it makes me feel good.

[Anonymous]

No. Throw in a slight wave too if you're confident enough.

[FatBatKiller]

I love when a girl does that! very attractive, and makes the girl way more approachable.
