>I am friendly on the surface and smile at people including strangers.
(I never know if I'm allowed, though I have no idea of who might not allow it, other than me. I have a carefully composed ambiguous demeanour )
Smile, wave and keep walking is a good policy.
For myself, being something of a pedant and averse to lies, I should respond to the inevitable
'How are you?'
with
'I've been anxious to catch up with/meet you.'
