“Dating from a place of curiosity is a lot more fun than dating to check to see if somebody fits a mold or not, which often times leads to a lot of disappointment.
So to really date from a place of openness, and really wanting to get to know people, is a way to keep the process very rich and very fulfilling.”
– Marie Thouin
