Random women smiling at you

[BillyPilgrim]

This is why it's so important to be hands-free and not be glued to your phone. Whenever I get a random woman smiling at me, I quickly make a ring with the index finger and thumb of one hand and use the index finger of my other hand to put inside the circle, simulating a phucking motion, and smile back. If it doesn't work, I simply act like I'm scratching my palm. 99 times out of 100 it doesn't work, but that 1 time out of 100, I tell ya....

That's part of their job description. "Smile at the customers you service."

Some women in this position like greeter or sample giver straight up ignore me or just stare with no expression on their face.

I internally laugh and continue on.

Get a real job “Boss Barbie”

Do they do this to everyone or am I the only one that experiences this often?

Thats an invitation to talk to them.

When I am walking around with my shirt off I get this and some of them look like they are about to break their neck with their head turning so quickly.

Funnily enough, after meeting my current girlfriend at a water park last year shirtless, she now hates it when I take my shirt off in public because I am "inviting female attention to myself". Go figure.

Lol yep normal female behavior. What once attracted them becomes what they wish you weren't, except when it's convenient for them.

I usually have Customer Service women at times smiling at me.

One of my job functions is marketing/PR/Cust Service. They tend to hire attractive people for this slot & expect them to be ‘flirty’. I’ve had to explain to women I’m dating/in relationships with that I’m expected to be flirty and they shouldn’t be jealous. As it is part of the job.

Means there's a good chance you're in but always consider the context:

If she is a working as a sever or behind a counter in a store, appearing friendly is part of her job...don't look into it too much.

If the circumstances are different there's a good chance she would appreciate if you stepped over and spoke with her.

The weather was nice today and I didn't bring my lunch so I decided to grab a sandwich at a shop and spend my lunchtime at a park next to where I work. It's downtown and the park is large so a lot of people are always passing through it. I encountered a runner and I looked right at her as she got near. She smiled, waved and said hi. I just said hi. She was probably was just being friendly, but it's as simple as this.

Not going to look too much into it.

It's worth an approach. It's a very mild IOI.

You are in the minority.
