21. but would you really say "leave me alone"

if you were NOT thinking "yuck"?

There's not really a lot of room for conversation when people are just walking past each other. The thing to me is - many of the girls giving me that look were not all that pretty.

Which is why my roommate's explanation of 'no' seemed quite presumptuous. Like I was asking for, or hoping for sex, and they were saying no. Like I said, they were not necessarily all that attractive.

Lately I have notice a number of times when pretty girls have smiled at me, and I have reacted kinda like "what are you trying to sell?" Granted most of these girls are far too young for any sort of relationship, but I am sorta bemused by my own cynicism and lack of sociability. Like why can't I smile back?

It doesn't necessarily mean "yuck". It does mean a sort of no, namely, "I'm not going to winter is coming Jan 2016 #20
