Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

There are quite a few women who said things like "I used to have such a massive crush on you at school/Uni/work" and I never realised at the time.
If I had a second chance, I would realise at the time.
Then you ruin it by coming on too strong too soon, scaring them off before they develop that crush.
Did that already in my first time around, with my highschool crush, when we were in college together. A premature "I love you" bomb. 2nd chance, if getting to that same point, I'd have heeded that little voice in me warning "don't say it, not yet, you'll ruin it". Or at the very least, not wimp out after, and instead continue to pursue her.
I think it's more likely that though I'd be initially aware of it at the point of magical reincarnation, by the time I reached whatever age it was, I wouldn't believe it was true anyway, so would act exactly the same as when I didn't know :)
This, times 9000. Except, I'd still have the same social ineptitude. XD
Except I'd not want her yet again, because 30 year old brain this time.
15 years into your new life would probably readjust your opinion when you had to go through puberty again. But that's between you and your therapist because goddamn would anyone who took this deal need one!
My puberty was a missfire. I had a very short growth spurt, and that's it. Was indeed a miserable part of my life, asides from today.
