No means no, sometimes.

More often it means: not yet, not now, I wasn’t listening, I don’t trust you enough, I need my partner’s approval, people are watching …

The opposite is also true: not yet, not now, I wasn’t listening, I don’t trust you enough, I need my partner’s approval, people are watching … sometimes they just mean no.

Happy 4th of July to my friends in the US.
