Nice, we can also assume that P(she smiles at you | she likes you) is approximately 1, simplifying to only 2 variables, and also substitute P(you are likable) for P(she likes you) to remove all unknowns.

and also substitute P(you are likable) for P(she likes you)

That seems like a pretty wild leap of logic. Being likeable in general isn't a substitute for a specific person liking you. Though there's probably a correlation related to your overall "likeability score".

So you're saying further research is needed to constrain P(she likes you|you are likeable)?
