Sentence: Todd was one of those guys who was a "legend in his own mind." He believed all the ladies were so into him that they couldn't look at him...sometimes even pretending he didn't exist. He was know to misinherpret the facial expressions once a woman was forced as he was known to stand blocking the doors. Yeah...that was his "best move."He was sure the white as a ghost paleness and the just on the horizon retch meant she was "totally into" him.
