RE: how to impress you for dating?

Dropping the 'mask', the 'persona', the 'pretense' and simply being authentic. People who are 'there' are usually quite healed and have nothing to prove and can be themselves so you really know who you're getting to know and have no nasty surprises later when the suppressed 'stuff' comes to the surface...

RE: Open-Minded and Chained-Minded

Rebel from the moment I was born!
I even demanded study courses that I was told didn't exist but which I insisted upon when we had study guidance sessions at my secondary. It is through my insistance that my study guidance teacher discovered that in fact what I wanted to study DID exist and one of the courses was in none other but the A Level school where they wanted me to study some boring subjects so I could be a trilingual secretary. My stubborness and refusal to follow 'gende trends' of those times opened new study doors for all students in the years that followed as the school was now aware of a new study path.
I'm still rather proud of myself for that. cool
