Early morning Glad to see you are an early riser, Cindie. I've been up since 5:00am. Thanks for the input. Guess the "P" word can be scary to some. Putting it in softer language sounds like a good idea.

The Long and Winding Road... ... is going to be a time consuming journey. Looking for Poly friendly partners is much harder than the traditional dating pattern I've been used to. For one, it reduces the list potential partners by a factor of at least 10 to 1. And, it increases the necessity for...

Don't talk too loud about Polyamory.... in a Barnes & Noble. I had my first Poly date there today, and you know, it's really quiet in those places. So, in normal conversation I mentioned "the P word," and suddenly looked around. A head or two turned. So, I thought we should get up from our...

Cool! That sort of worked... Thanks Ms Indie!

Flying Solo Well, here's an attempt to follow Cindie's directions. (Yeah, I know now it's NYC indie.... why'd you have to spoil it :) It still would be really cool to insert an image right into the text in a post. Any images I use by the way... are mine. So, here it is, how it feels flying solo...

Best read I've had all day! I'm a little late getting to this thread, but glad I found it. November, you've got me rolling on the floor. Highly entertaining. We should all have such a sense of humor about life and love.

Calling all geeks, I tried to insert an image (photo) into a post as the icon suggests in the post composing box. It didn't work. It asked for a URL, really odd, since most images are uploaded from one's own hard drive. But, since it asked for it, I posted my image on my profile album. Then I...

Tomorrow morning, I'm meeting my first poly date at Barnes&Noble. She's 25 years younger than me. Why would she do this? It wasn't my intention. I had been looking for women my own age at PolymatchmakerDotCom, and have been corresponding with several, all out of town. But, tomorrow morning's...

Most folks, I see, do have "really good reasons." Ahh, friends, I really wasn't suggesting that anyone reveal more about themselves than they were comfortable with. What I thought I was saying, as so often happens, was not what was heard. So, forgive me for being unclear. I was simply curious...

Having been on PolyamoryDotCom for about a week, I've taken a breath and looked around. After, in my typical fashion, gushing all over my profile with information and photos, I started checking other profiles to discover that it's an ocean of anonymity around here. Succinct isn't the word for...

Too all respondents... thanks I am touched and grateful that anyone would care to respond to my fever post. And, at the same time, I realize how easily what I thought I was saying can be heard as something else. As in all maladies, one can live with the fever, do nothing (but breath deep and...

Desperation..... .... may be overstating it. "Unfounded urgency" may be more of the situation. Never the less, the feelings of urgency are there, and I'm fighting it, which is why I'm posting about it.

Sensory and emotional overload I completely understand Bells feelings of too many too fast. I think I must be a pretty slow entry and recovery type myself. As I've mentioned in my post above, I've been alone for 1 1/2 yrs. and am just beginning to think about reconnecting. For me, polyamory is...

Possibly, it's not good to be alone too long. It's been a year and a half, but it could have ended for her even before that. I think she got bored with me. I'm not sure what she thinks. We were too polite to discuss it. But, it's been at least 18 months alone and I've decided to connect...

Hi Moonglow, thanks for commenting on my introduction. I'm new to the site and to the concept. I'm interested in meeting folks online. Any advice woud be welcome.

Hello Beth. Nice to see another person in the Carolinas on this site. I'm in Durham, NC. I'm also new to the site and new to the concept. Any advice on how to get around in the community and meet people would be welcome..... Frank

Married monogamously for 15 years, then in serial monogamy for another 15, it sort of looks like that pattern hasn't worked. As a man with traditional personal values, making this leap into polyamory seems a bit like a free fall without an anchor. But, on the other hand it may be the right...
