Keep the conversation going—smiles are good signs. Just don’t ask them to marry you yet.

They could be flirting—or just trying to figure out if they know you from somewhere. Either way, say hi

A: Laugh it off!
You’ve been complimenting someone a lot, but they seem uncomfortable. Should you: A) Keep going, or B) Back off?

A friendly wave, a smile, or casual conversation.
