Just because a girl smiles doesn't mean she's flirting. On some occasion a girl's smile is a distraction to avoid addressing an unpleasant topic. On other occasions it's merely a greeting or a polite response to a joke/story. If she smiles in passing, but isn't looking you in the eye, then the smile's not for you at all.
Direct eye contact + smile + "open" eyes (blinking and just looking at you) = attraction.
I'll sometimes think a guy looks familiar (or he is because I've seen him around a few times) and I'll just smile and say "Hey." It doesn't mean more than "Hey." It's not till recently that I noticed guys make a bigger deal out of this than it's meant to be, but I still say "hi" and smile since the alternative is what -- frowning and telling the guy to blip off? Not my style, lol.

I usually can't help but smile when I make eye contact with a guy I think is cute, but I smile at other people too just because I'm a generally happy/bubbly person. If she keeps looking back, smiling, and looking away then she probably likes you bit is a little shy. If it's at a club or bar, she probably does like you, because we know a smile will be taken as encouragement and we don't want to encourage guys we wouldn't go out with!
Mostly it's because I'm friendly or in a good mood. If I smile multiple times and look at him multiple times, then it's because I think he's good looking.
Not necessarily. She could be a shy girl working on her exercises to get over shyness. (One of them is smiling more at people, including strangers.)
The point is, no matter whether it was flirting or not, you should smile back. It works wonders. If you feel you can, escalate. She smiles? You smile and wink.
No. Some people are just polite/friendly.
However, it is true that girls would smile more at someone attractive than unattractive, but many people just smile when they make eye contact with someone just so they don't come across as rude.

it's a pretty solid sign, if you don't know the person, because I won't smlie at a stranger unless I find him cute.
Usually or he's wearing something I like a logo or color
She's just attracted to you.
Though smiling doesn't mean flirting.
