This is a serious question about building an ability to smile genuinely at your target. I believe if you can pull of a great, confident smile which results in the target smiling back at you, you can open ANYWHERE. The logical follow up after you've exchanged smiles is to walk up to the target and simply say, "You're got to tell me what your secret is?" She will of course be confused and say, "I don't understand" to which you reply, "Well, you are the only person who has smiled back at me all day! Why is that?" You get the picture, just build from here, throw in a few negs etc.

I think to pull of a genuine smile is quite difficult. Any tips on how to have a nice smile on your face?!

You can differentiate a real, genuine, warm smile from a fake one by the eyes. You know how some people's EYES smile?

it's really easy for me to get smiles in return, i donno why but it's just so easy.

when i walk around the campus, i just put on a smile, not a rigid one, just one that when i do it, i'll unconsciously feel happy inside as well.

a genuine smile, hmm, it's suppose to make u feel better, or happier.

if u wanna know u're posing a genuine smile, just ask urself, have u felt a bit happier than few secs ago while u had that emotionless expression on?


i smiled...guys or girls all smile in return = =...like 95%...the other 5% are..when i smiled..i didn't even look at them so yeh

u wudn't be afraid to go near a dog wiggles its tail isn't it? as oppose to one that's showin' its teeth? lol

When you're just walking around, carry a smirk - a one sided smile. Don't walk around with a big grin on your face, because you'll look like a chump. A smirk makes you seem laid-back, yet slightly mischievous. It projects confidence and danger at the same time. If you ever face a woman, you'll notice she'll zone in on you if you've got a confident smirk.

When you want to actually smile at someone, do something called the "slow smile." Most people flash a smile when they're looking at random strangers. Slow your smile just a notch, so that it takes longer to take over your face. Your smile will seem more credible and sincere. This works on a subconscious level. Go try it in a mirror, and you should see the difference for yourself.

Chief is right: your smile will also seem more credible if it extends to your eyes. There are two muscle groups that create a smile. The first are the ones around your mouth/lower cheeks, and the second are your upper cheek muscles (just underneath your eyes). When you smile, be sure to use both groups. This causes your eyes to look like they're smiling, too.

The same goes with your body language. Whatever you do, don't fidget when you're talking to a girl. Don't ever shift your eyes, blink too much, or cover your face with your hands. These are "liar" cues, and everyone can read them. Even if you're telling the truth, a girl will think you're feeding her a story if you do this stuff. If you ever watch politicians or public speakers, you'll notice they don't fidget AT ALL. Even when their faces are dripping with sweat, they'll just stand there and keep talking.

Remember this stuff when you ARE lying, too. I'm pretty good at lying (my own family has a very hard time knowing when I'm lying or not), because I don't ever do any of the liar cues.

Hope this helps.

I don't like this. As said above, most people smile back when you smile at them. To me this phrase just implies that you are unfriendly/unattractive and so people are not smiling at you.

^ i agree 100% you telling her that really in my opinion DLV urself it shows her how shes the only one that smiled at you which will show her your not worth her time...

Don't put too much energy into trying to figure out "How to smile." You know how to smile, everyone does. When you're talking to a girl, just go to a place when you were really happy. I don't care if it was Christmas morning when you were 5 and you got a Super Nintendo. If you are trying to look genuine, you won't. Don't smile to look like you are fun and having a good time. Smile because you ARE fun and having and AWESOME time.

I'm convinced that as long as you smile (genuinely) the whole time, you will be less likely to get blown out of a set.
