    Online Dating… OKCupid... what a trip. What works for you?

    Stephen King once put it as there's "the world," and then there's "the world beneath the world." To some people, that has an ugly connotation, the world beneath the world contain the things you can hide, the things people can miss, sometimes consciously don't want us to see, and what we really...

    Greetings from TN

    You live closer to Burning Man, which is very crazy and very fun.

    You got it. My cogs take awhile to make the full spins around, but they get there. I'm...

    You got it. My cogs take awhile to make the full spins around, but they get there. I'm sympathetic. ;)

    Burned

    Different people are different. (I'm really running for Dalai Lama here with my profundity; ain't I?) I don't think I've ever kissed on the first date. Maybe I'm getting red hot rejection here, but I'm content with how it's going. And if I'm wrong about misinterpreting the text sent to me...

    typical girl question

    This is pretty spot-on, solid advice. The stupid end of my closet starts in the 4-6" heel zone. (There's actually a stupid end in my closet. There's animal print in there, Iron Fist shoes, other label items that I consider fun, or works of art, or something crazy I can enjoy.) I don't think...

    Burned

    Let's worst case it, pretend he was out to grab a piece of your pie, got it, and ran like a thief in the night. Did you enjoy it? Did you use protection? If yes to both of those questions, while it's disappointing you didn't get what you wanted precisely, you had a nice time with a fun guy...

    Satisfying the relationship of three

    What? Solo poly women are human beings with rights who should have their wishes and feelings taken into consideration? Stop the presses! This kind of radical idea could tear apart the poly community!

    You had what I like to refer to as an L&R moment. ;)

    typical girl question

    Here's my set of rules when dating women: 1) Always wear your good underwear. Men don't care. Even if you never take your jacket off, you'll feel sexier. For some reason, it's always harder for me to feel sexier around women unless I'm "put together." 2) Do your nails. Since it's...

    Greetings from TN

    You've never heard of Woodstock or Bonnaroo? :confused:

    Royally Screwed Up

    Thank you, Mackenzie. One reason I hesitate to do anything is my brain insists it's absolutely stupid to get involved in "serious" relationships until I'm "stable." And I realized I've somehow dodged defining what "stable" means. I know what I want. I have an okay career. I have a nice cat...

    Question for both primaries and secondaries

    Since '08, I've been a secondary when I've dated people for any length of time. I'm a selfish person, and I'm my number one priority. When I love someone, I'll give you my heart, soul, and kidney, and while I understand people have responsibilities that are unique to their married partners or...

    Exploration of feelings

    I agree with GG. If you're sleeping with someone, you're going to like them and have fond feelings. Your brain produces lovely, powerful hormones that make you go, "Wowza, this person makes me feel good, and they're pretty groovy." Congrats; you're normal. If this is a guy who can't take a...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I think being polyamorous is hardwired in, like being left or right-handed.
