@DexGirl28,
Do what you feel is right. Looking into someones eyes and smiling creates an intense connection, it screams on a subliminal basis "I like you."
Ask him how he is and what he has been doing and really listen to him, guys love it when girls take an interest. Yes of course take it slow, you have not seen him for 4 months and you dont know if he is seeing anyone else and you need to weigh up if you still feel the same about him during that time. Things change a lot but if you still connect with him, then keep the eye contact going
Good luck
