Charles Bukowski once had a poem on the subject. I cant remember the exact words, but pretty much he turns a corner and sees a girl smile and walk past. He doesnt know the girl, but he wants to kill her for smiling for no good reason. He decides to let it go that time.
Pretty much my view on random smiling.

Moving past the obvious sexual tension...
As Strike said, its context and the girl herself. I became quite close to a girl this year, and a month or two ago, she revealed she had been flirting with me for a number of months. I had no idea. I can pick it up between other people, but not when its with me.
Although Strike is Texan, his advice is sound.![]()
