This is for the white guys who have been interested in a dark-skinned female but have been snubbed -- they think. Unfortunately, many of us brown-skinned cuties have been burnt by racist men who look at us a little too long to be uninterested but respond to eye contact or a smile by looking through us as if we weren't there. Every brown person on the planet knows that look. Probably others have experienced it too but had no reason to think it was personal. I'll digress a little here because I know some folks think we're just oversensitive. But most of us have had the not-so-rare experience of being with others who are not brown, and crossing paths with strangers who smile at our companions and look right through us.
So if you've got the cojones, and yes I do know it requires some, offer her a friendly smile. You'll never know whether she's interested if you don't, because you won't know if she has the good fortune to have dodged the racism bullet (much more likely if she's under, say, 28) or not.
And hey, men constantly think I'm flirting with them when I'm not, because I tend to smile at everyone. I've decided the racists can go fuck themselves because I'm not going to stop being who I am. So if you get the willies about smiling at a pretty girl, pretend to yourself that you're just someone who smiles at everyone!
