That's happened to me. We were even born in the same hospital. He was born about an hour before me.
We met at a party. There was no attraction there though and I could tell he felt the same. He was good looking too, just not "hot".
The only reason we even got to talking was because he was very obviously a Pisces (sometimes I'm good at guessing people's signs) so I went up to him and asked him what his birthday was (sounds less corny than asking "what's your sign?") and it turned out to be the same as mine. Good luck with your Cancer girl!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
