So true :( I can't wait until this isn't an issue anymore. Granted due to finances I still have to live with roommates, but they'll be all women. It'll be better than living with DE though... Less awkward. Yeah, underneath the crush I figured we'd be good friends. He did not say it was...

My first test run using writing (facebook pm)! :eek: Still a little freaked out about what I'm saying, but not as freaked out as if I were winging it or talking to his face. It's a little calmer. Granted I haven't asked him anything about relationship stuff yet, but I mentioned that I wanted to...

This is so true :D ! There's something about a letter that is special (I especially love handwritten ones). So much can be expressed in a letter... :p My mind is drifting towards the concept of "Love letters," but I'm sure it's applicable to practical conversation letters too ;) . I'm definitely...

:eek: Wow... I just assumed that face-to-face talking was inherently better :p It never occurred to me that some important things could be written instead. DE always needed to talk things out - sometimes for hours at a time for days on end (of which I'm not a fan). :D Writing could really open...

... I'm actually not sure if I'm more scared of the idea that I may have to control this or that I might just have to experience it... :p lol I appreciate your encouragement because I was starting to think I was doing everything wrong (I've heard that confidence is very attractive and is in fact...

Having read some of the posts on this thread, I've realized that I don't care for the label of "secondary" much, but depending on its practice, would be fine with it. My "plan" ( :rolleyes: ) is to be a solo poly who doesn't share finances, live with, or really share in major life decisions with...

Sorry for another novel - didn't realize how much I wanted to say until I was done :o :o I know I know ... Communication is pretty much the number one rule I always read about. :( It's just so hard for me because I grew up sooo shy. It's horrible. Example: The first time he invited me out for...

Thanks for the tip ;) So true... I do kinda feel constantly on cloud 9 and I hadn't considered the long-term effects physically. I was only thinking about a potential emotional crash, but I can see how the reward system is affected ("Your love is my drug" ;) ). I've been tempted to get into...

SOOO MUCH!!!! Life would be at least a little easier if I could decide one way or the other. :rolleyes: But what can I do at this point except see where it goes ;) I know - Hang on for dear life! Lol

I appreciate your warnings, SmileTexas. I'm pretty conflicted on how much to reel the NRE in (or if I even want to)... I don't expect this relationship to last the same way forever - at some point it's likely to dissolve in some way or another (So I feel that some type of crash is coming...

I've been so wrapped up and stuck in my own thoughts this year (seriously, since New Year's Eve I've been completely unable to get out of my head)... I just need a place to get it all out :o Apologies in advance for the novel. ;) Enter the guy I'm crushing on, PS. I met him last fall term at...

Thank you, kdt26417 :) I've been lurking for a bit and I just started to barely dip my toes in the waters of active participation :D Exciting :) He seems to enjoy my company so I think it'll prolly just be a matter of being myself (amazingly difficult because my brain goes on vacation EVERY...

:) Wow, this thread is exactly what I was looking for... :( shame it's not commented on more. I'd love to see it resurrected. As a newly single poly-virgin, the ideas presented here have been very thought provoking and brought issues to my attention that I hadn't considered before. I think the...

Thank you both for your welcomes :) I'm excited to have found a place to express myself and learn from similar-minded people!

Hmm... Where to start :rolleyes: I'm 27yrs young and I like crafts (mainly knitting), learning Japanese, and watching Disney movies. I got married Jun. 2008 - divorced Dec. 2014. Before I met DE (dear ex ;) ), I'd toyed with the idea of being poly though at the time I didn't know what to call...
