Power of the Gaze

Was on the cab the other day and happened to spot a person at the bus-stop.
He had this weird afro hair on his extremely chinese head.
Somehow, coincidentally we caught each other's eye. He was looking back at me (although my cab was travelling)
At that point of time, i was wondering: What could he be thinking when he saw me looking at him?
Was he thinking "Hey, i know my hair is real cool. I can see that it caught your attention."
Or could he be thinking "Jeez, i know its a bad hair day", then start soothing his hair down... ?

For plain-looking people like myself, when i happen to see someone's gaze on me, most of the time i'll be thinking "Is there something on my face?" or maybe "What?! Is my top very ugly?"

What about those I'm-gorgeous-and-I-know-it-and-I-know-you-think-i'm gorgeous too- type? What's going on in their minds? Are they swooning over the gazes they are receiving?

Then again, sometimes a person's gaze just falls on another human being simply because there is no other place to fix the eye.
