IDK, I tend to full out smile, laugh lines and all, or I have a normal no expression face.
What is a soft smile?

Or, and much worse, it's the mating call of the "true sub"

The reason I am asking is that one of the people I know from northern CA recently got married. As he had never been married before I was pretty doggone happy he had found someone and my reaction was a huge smile, just before I sent off my congrats. Somewhere down the line of reactions to his change of status I noticed a "soft smile" from someone. And I thought, 'what is that, regret? nostalgia? wistfulness?'
So, me being me I tried a few smiles. IDK, maybe I am just not capable of doing a soft smile because mostly they looked sarcastic.

The kind of smile that can turn a masochistic slave into a face-slapping hellion.

Status: offline 		yeah, long time bachelor Michael is no longer single.
His posts and updates in the last 8 months or so have shown him to be quite content.
I hope they last a long time. It is always nice to see things work out. <-big smile
