Is this actually showing interest or should I leave it be?

I've (33M) been working at this place for about a month, and I often go to this mall nearby to the grocery store during my breaks. There's this beauty store I walk past, and every time I do this girl and I lock eyes for 2-3 secs. I don't approach anyone, ever. I keep to myself and I'm quite introverted, partly because I don't like making people uncomfortable, and personal space is very important to me. Yet, today I decided to subtly raise my eyebrows at her when glancing at each other - I'm not used to smiling, can't force it - to which she smiled back.

Now, on one hand, yes, she could simply be friendly and doing that to everyone. On the other, I feel this could be a sign of interest, but I feel if I was to go up to her and ask her out it'd be a bit weird.

Does it come across I'm misreading the whole thing?

How about just having a convo with her and see how it goes rather than taking the quantum leap of asking her out

Things is there's no ideal scenario as that's the only place I see her. Not like I can just go in inquire about a Brazilian wax and take it from there. We've locked eyes was too many times already. Has to be obvious to her I find her attractive

I don’t even understand what you’re trying to get at with her

Ah, the grocery store is back once again.

[Crystalmacht]

[smurfwrangler]

[Crystalmacht]

She didn't smile today. It's over
