This is my favorite song EVER. I think that CandyKane7 got the meaning down perfectly. It seems that the lead singer, as well as myself, is pretty shy around girls and is therefore trying to find some sort of conversation piece to start talking to a girl he admires. The "hey, what's the point of this?" kinda references the whole game you have to play to meet a girl and try to develop a relationship with her.
I kinda experienced this first hand when I was trying to man up and talk to this girl in my stats class back in college. I was all nervous, but she gave me a really big smile, which totally calmed me down. To this day, my heart still melts every time I hear the "maybe just a smile" line, it brings me back to that exact moment. After I met her, we always competed to see who could get the best grade on the test/quiz, which is where the "I think you're smart, you sweet thing" part comes in, as she usually beat me. Perhaps that's the reason this is my favorite song, it's just so amazing when music relates EXACTLY to your own life, it's as if someone wrote the song specifically for you. Even years later, I still remember her because of this song and it still get chills every time I hear it.
