    Bipolar and Poly?

    Yay! Thanks to nycindie I have my old account back! kdt26417 - thank you for your post. This is something else I have pondered a lot. What (if anything) is the common thread that makes people seek poly realtionships. I grew up really socially isolated, and feel like I missed out on a lot, so...

    Offline dating as a poly

    I don't think a poly meet up would be the same. As you say, everyone attending is poly or is curious about poly. Novemberrain, you make a good point. I am 28. All my friends - poly and mono - seem to exclusively date online. I know a few that have been set up by friends, but no one that is...

    The life and times of Andy4700...

    I started this topic over 2 years ago, stating I would "possibly add to and expand on it in the even things progress past me wallowing in my fantasies and daydreams." Its nearing 2013 and honestly a lot of things have happened in my life. I have been on some amazing dates, made new friends...

    Offline dating as a poly

    Has anyone had any good experiences meeting a partner at random, just as you might if you were mono and dating? I have never went on a date that didn't have some kind of online beginning. And while online dating is a ton of fun (sometimes...) I have added "ask a random girl out in real life"...

    Dating While Married: How do you do it?

    Excellent post, Whathappened. I could not agree much more. I totally respect the ladies that are looking for "the one" and hold on to the dream of marriage. Having been there now, I have mixed feelings about it personally, but I do see it work out blissfully for many, and genuinely wish that...

    Dating While Married: How do you do it?

    Hello, I am kinda coming back from the dead here after a long hiatus from this site, but not the poly lifestyle. I am married. I am very much poly, my wife is supportive of me, but not really looking for anything past friends. I totally feel your pain. I am currently off OKC, but when I was...

    Thank you, admins!

    To further hijack the topic... sorry TP:p I agree with you Neon, it takes forever for my English wired brain and tongue to sorta "loosen up" so to speak to even get close to pronouncing some Polish words. Wrocław for example I had to say over and over about 500 times (not even kidding) to...

    Thank you, admins!

    My new English word of the day! haha The cases and declensions really grab me. I have not been able to understand them very well yet, but its interesting how the ending of words shift and morph so much. And as for pronouncing Polish words... a fair few make my poor tongue want to cry... others...

    Thank you, admins!

    I'd love to take Polish lessons.... its a difficult language to self teach. :/ Sadly the closest place that offers them is 2 hours away. :( Thats awesome you are of Polish decent though, Neon! This is about the last place I expected to meet someone who could appreciate the crazy, yet beautiful...

    Thank you, admins!

    I haven't seen any of the Polish spam yet... But yeah, I am interested in Polish and Slavic language. I am not at all Polish, but met a girl who introduced me to, and then got me hooked on the language. Do you speak and Polish Neon? Or have any family that is fluent?

    Positive Role Models for Monos

    No, I understand TP. :) I Just mean I can't honestly say I can go either way by choice. I am really craving other close relationships in my life at the moment and struggle with feeling depressed at the lack of prospects. I am glad to know I am not alone in the 20 something and searching boat...

    Positive Role Models for Monos

    I don't know that I could go either way. I crave another close relationship deeply and poly really feels natural to me, but I do like what Indy posted... I need to learn to work on this. I need to learn to be glad the door for a 3rd is open in my life, and to be happy as a "mono by default"...

    How does marriage differ from a long term committed relationship. Opinions wanted.

    I don't think most people want to, or even are capable of "sharing" in a relationship. I think thats sort of what poly is all about... thats ability to not get jealous or to work though jealousy if it comes up. I would completely understand if I approached a single 20 some year old woman at a...

    Poly-Dating: How to meet like-minded people

    I have trouble with the idea of just asking any woman I meet and think is attractive out on a date when I am already committed to someone else... It could be sort of cruel unless you're totally honest from the first conversation, and in that case she's going to say no, unless she happens to...

    How does marriage differ from a long term committed relationship. Opinions wanted.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I do appreciate it. Mindfulagony - I like your line about trying to enjoy the connections I make. I was pondering this lastnight in a way. In reality, I haven't been looking that long. And in that time I have made a handful of connections. None are what I want or...

    How does marriage differ from a long term committed relationship. Opinions wanted.

    I agree with Neon. I failed to note that the woman yesterday has a BF she says she loves and doesn't want anything more then a casual secondary. Same thing I want. I would probably avoid a single, never married woman my age unless she really seemed like she could enjoy my companionship and...

    How does marriage differ from a long term committed relationship. Opinions wanted.

    Hey everyone. I am seeking some input this morning. For those of you that don't know me, I am 26, married and seeking a woman for a V type situation. Its been hard as heck even meeting anyone. I have had a couple slight possibilities derailed when the nature of my relationship with my wife...

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

    As someone who has had many "cyber friendships", I can attest that all die of natural causes within a year, unless you take the next step and make it a real life friendship. :/ @SourGirl - I am not really talking about the ones that never respond at all, but more the 3 or 4 messages and then...

    I think you just described dating in general. ;)
