English term or phrase: I'm just not feeling it
En una novela sobre un viaje a través de los EE. UU.. El protagonista se está enrollando con una chica que acaba de conocer, pero cuando intenta progresar, la chica le para los pies y le dice: "Sorry, I'm just not feeling it. Having sex in a lecture room at midnight is just not that exciting.".

¿Qué es exactamente "it"? ¿No se siente preparada? ¿No se siente excitada? Gracias.
Andelito (X)

Había pensado también sencillamente en "no me apetece", pero viendo cómo continúa la frase, pienso que quizá a la chica sí le apetezca, pero no en ese sitio....

Leyendo una vez más a mis opciones le añadiría AQUÍ al principio:

Aquí no se me mueven las hormonas
Aquí no da ganas (más general e impersonal)
Aquí no me da ganas (más fuerte, más "no")
