	Comments:	GG5 has these as examples in its "sympathetic attitude". I wouldn't put it in a separate sense.

	Comments:	いい顔(を)する can mean more than one thing, but most frequently I think it means "to suck up" or "trying to make a good impression" in things like https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1012361025 "男性の前でいい顔して、裏でひどく性格の悪い女。対処方法。知恵をかして下さい。" I mean it's "sympathetic attitude" as in sense 3 but it's very negative. While in いい顔をしない　(also an example of sense 3 and an entry on its own in daij) the いい顔 would have been a positive thing. I feel like this should be an additional sense, maybe?
