Is a smile all it takes to break the ice?

Question - (18 July 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 July 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

There is this guy who i've seen and even though we've never spoken, his behavior/body language and the way he looks at me, it's clear that he's attracted to me! But he comes across too shy to do anything about it. Well i'm the same, but figured if i want something to happen then it looks like i'll need to make the first move.

Everyone says that i should just smile at him and that'll break the ice and then next time i see him talk to him, or he'll talk to me? Is that true, do you think if ALL i do is just smile at him... that he'll feel more open to approaching me? Is that all it takes....

I mean i know i've appeared uninterested and cold towards him for a long time. I don't know why i acted like that when really i'm attracted to him. I just wonder if i've been acting like that every time his seen me, will me smiling at him change anything? I mean will he smile back? And how can i make him more aware i'm interested....

As a male i would be more inclined to take action if Im smiled at, but I would wait until it happened more than once or was combined with other things (ie positive body language, prolonged eye contact for example), or started conversation.

Smile...What is it going to hurt? If he smiles back, go talk to him.
