Thank you both so much. These are the sort of inner ramblings I'd work out with a dear friend, but I only have one dear friend who's poly and I told her I wouldn't treat her as a tour guide :) A coupe things: My therapist told me today that I will know if I'm overthinking if I get so lost in...

Yes, I'm not in that space where I'm free to relate to people how I see fit yet and I want to be. I'm assuming this takes time to get to from monogamy?

I don't mean to "yell" in all caps but it was easiest to answer you this way....

I'm trying to make sense of some things, but I need help picking them apart. I need a good talk-think with people who know what I'm talking about. thank you in advance. I'm seeing MyDate fairly often, coming up on our 5th date. Here's what bothers me about that sentence: "fairly often" what...

One positive side effect from me calling everything a date is that when I say I'm going on a date my kids don't bat an eye. Instead they ask me when they get to go on a date with me. Date is a way we set apart something special. When I "go out" with a friend I'm likely to take calls or texts...

My friends and I made a word for friend dates: frieate It didn't catch on lol I do take friends on dates, I take my kids of dates, and then I have romantic dates with my husband and dates with the people I'm dating. None of those are the same thing, it is silly that they all share one word.

Scheduling is hard, especially in this dating period. I'm also getting a more realistic idea of how much energy I may or may not have for relationships. I'm also doing better at the ones I already have, at least investing more and trying to do better. I think it's working.

Also, don't they have to sit there for a million years to get a picture taken back then?

Hello, this is a great place to speak freely. It helps. It also helps to find people in your community, so if there's a way to do that also I say go for it.

Thank you Vin, your response makes a whole lot of sense 😊 We are re-learning dating. It is definitely different now and honestly for me anyways it's a lot more fun, easier even? Of course it's been 7 years since I dated before and being young I'm still growing a lot on a yearly basis, so there's...

Dean and I have More Than Two on our kindles now. This feels like a big deal.

Weird is a feeling we have often these days, but we agree that it would be even more weird if we didn't feel weird. We are making sure along the way that we still have the same vision. Using weirdness as barometer or some other kind of tool. So weird. So wonderful.

Dean and I had a heart to heart, all good things, but something came up. Something I didn't have an answer for. When I first thought about Polyamory, long term love was my end game ( I agree that end game sounds weird but I can't think of a better term right now...goal, vision, fantasy?)...

Dean and I had a long heart ti heart last night. Covered a lot of ground. He's reading the forum now. All good things.

Update It's now been one full month since my first post. I've never expected to go from there (my crush on Blue Eyes) to here (my husband Dean meeting MyDate) in 4 weeks. Here I was saying I'd take things slow! I need to point out that I didn't rush or push things. Dean is right here with me...

I see I'm a "Senior Member" now. New people are going to think I know stuff. Some housekeeping: my links in an earlier post don't work so here: Here's to First Posts: 7/4/17 http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89673&highlight=bathedinsalt Let's Talk Fears and Stuff:7/6/17...

I want a life, where I find 100$ bills I didn't know I lost! woohoo! :D

IMPORTANT question: When will I stop getting sore throats from kissing new people? :p:D:eek::(:confused::p Mouthwash? Airborne? Vitamin C lozenges? I kid, but it happens to me a lot... and all of a sudden this post sounds gross lol but seriously I am open to pointers

Good! I'm glad you're finding what you need and hope you find more :D
