i dont know where you are from, but i'm from the south, and it's just polite to smile at everyone.
if you feel awkward, like you must say something, you can just say hey, or "how're you" or "happy holidays/something about the season" which gives the other person to say something short and sweet and leave, or the opportunity to start a conversation.
and if smiling at other people really worries you... avoid looking people in the eye (though i really dont suggest you do that)

One should in the South smile back and give a polite wave nod or say hello. Here most people will smile at others when they see them. It's just a polite thing to do also to say hello to someone as you walk past them. You can always say hello and see where it goes from there. If you live up North, I have no idea sorry. =)

You do not know the person and what you may get involved in. So smile and walk off. It is not a good thing just to walk up to someone and start talking when you do not know them. And she may smile at you but you do not know her and what she may be involved in or if she has a boyfriend, so smile back and walk off. Best way to do it.

Oh i do that all the time to boys. But usually they don't have the guts to come up to me and that sucks, because who knows if we could've had a bomb relationshipp! >_<
Yeah absolutelyy.. you should go up to a girl the next time she smiles at you. especially if she's attractive, haha.
If you don't... you could likee miss out on some good times.
But make sure she's smiling at you before you do anything crazy haha, cause if she IS interested thenn things should be kick asss if you approach her.
You both will feel like crap if you walk away. :] good luck boyy

Just say "hello" and let it go from there. If they want it to continue they'll let you know. Otherwise you have seemed like a genuinely friendly individual, not bad. I always talk to anyone who recognized me anywhere anytime, even in big cities. And it has always paid off.

If you feel like going up and talking, go ahead--if they were just smiling out of politeness and not wishing further contact, they'll let you know.
