She would walk on the street, and know exactly who were trying to check her out, and glare at them. She would walk into a new group people; introduce herself to the others, knowing exactly who would be interested in her. That’s why she was never worried about male attention. And if she walked around and told her friends how she did get her heartbroken once, nobody would ever believe her. That’s why she never bothered to explain why she never dated. Not even to herself.
