Well, you can look at it any way you want, really. I smile at just about every one that I meet, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I "like" them. It could mean that they like you, but it all depends on what kind of person this is. I wouldn't just run up to the person and say "I like you a lot! I saw you smiling at me, so you must like me too!" What I would do, not saying that it is the best idea out there, is to slowly get to know this person (I take it this person is a girl?). Start off with a simple "hi", or "whats up?". As you get get to know her, start engaging in small conversations. Small talk, in a way. If you feel nervous, that's ok, it's perfectly natural. Just don't scare her at first by going up to her and asking her name, and then asking her out. Start it off nice and easy. I hope this helps. I don't know much about girls, but then again, no one does!

They might like you. I tend to (the odd bad day aside) smile towards most people I pass. Its just a kind of acknowledgement, same as a nod of the head when somebody steps aside for you so we can share some space on the pavement.
Being a smiley kinda person, if I smiled at someone and they said 'hiya mate', I would say 'hiya' back.
What goes from there is down to you, but at last you made contact. Just say hi!

I once heard a man tell a story about how he smiled at every girl he saw, not just the pretty ones. If she was not very attractive and he smiled at her it made her day, and that made him feel good. But if she was attractive and smiled back at him...that made his day.
This could be just a very nice person that smiles at everyone...or they could have a crush on you.
Start by smiling back. If they're friendly enough to smile at you all the time, they're at least willing to be your friend. Introduce yourself if you don't already know each other. If you do, be sure and ask them how their weekend was...just be polite. Once you talk a few times you should get a better feel of what's going on.
I wouldn't be married to my husband right now if he hadn't introduced himself.

You know Benny, the reason that people have trouble meeting someone they are interested in is that we make it too important in our mind. You feel that you want to get to know them, you like them, they are important to you and you are going to have a great relationship with them. That's too many reasons to fear failure. If you could forget all that, you'd have a better chance. Why not approach them with the idea that it's OK either way weather you succeed or fail. That takes all the desperation out of your approach. People sense desperation. how about if it were just some other guy? you'd be comfortable with that wouldn't you. Try that approach and see how it works.

I think unfortunately the answer is smiling is "not necessarily" indicative of liking someone... although it's encouraging.. (-:
Some people smile out of nervousness or because it's culturally what they do in their particular group.
You could say, "excuse me, I'm measuring smiles for a sociology project - would you just hold still for a minute while I get out my tape measure?"
Well, it's just a thought ...

I would say that Person is HAPPY to see you and likes you* You fill their heart which brings a Smile to their face. Why not go on over to that person and say Hi how's it going?? My name is ...what's yours? I've noticed you have a beautiful smile*...things will blossom from there:)

You could observe this person. Does she smile at everyone?
If so, she is a friendly soul who finds delight in human interaction.

It could be that they are just being friendly. Just strike up a conversation sometime and get to know them, then maybe you will get a better feel for the situation...

In all probability somebody who smile likes you. (As mentioned, it doesn't necessarily mean they have a romantic interest in you, but it means their feelings are more positive than negative. That can't be bad.)
As for approaching, try hello.
