Time for a crash course in grammar!

Spelling correction: friend, not frend.
Also, when you use commas it looks like this:

"However, I can't."
Not like "However ,I can't" or "However,I can't."

English sentence construction is a lot more structured than Chinese – when you say "And I am open-minded, we have..." you need to use a conjunction. A conjunction is a word like as, yet, but, and, so, for, etc. and is used between clauses. 

A clause is a chunk of words with a subject and a verb. A subject is the thing that does something – for example, in "The dog ate food," "dog" is the subject, and "ate" is the verb. So in "And I am open-minded," "I" is the subject and "am" is the verb. That is actually not a clause, however, because of the "And" at the beginning. When you have a clause that starts with words like and, because, since, unless, although, etc. it is not a clause, it is a phrase. It cannot stand on its own as a sentence.

So when you say, "And I am open-minded" and you also want to say "we have many things to share," you would write "And I am open-minded, and we have many things to share." However, it would be better to change that whole sentence to:

"Since I am open-minded, we can talk about many things like movies, music, health, faith, and so on."

I hope that wasn't too long or complicated. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me; 我会说一点点中文。
