I wanted to let the folks here who use polymatchmaker.com know that the people who run the site are reading your mail. I doubt they are reading all of it, but in at least some cases, they absolutely are. I was on "notice" there because I had openly criticized the moderation in the forums more...

I have a long-distance SO, Kai, who is very big on wanting everyone to be friendly and get along. He has a new potential romantic interest, Nora. Nothing has happened yet; they've only seen each other twice. He has twice given me her contact information and encouraged me to get in touch with...

I am puzzled by the behavior of someone I just started dating (maybe) and was curious as to what a group of random strangers would think about it. The history is this: My first contact with M. was an email from him on OKCupid. It was overall a very nice email, except he suggested a possible...

I have been in a long-distance relationship with an amazing man for about six months, plus knew him virtually for about four months before we actually met. He and I are in love and it's quite wonderful! I sometimes feel like my life would be just perfect if I could only see him more often. Right...

I just got into some difficulties with a good friend (Jude), who would like to be more to me. My husband Brian and I are friends with both Jude and his wife, JC. The problem came about when Jude started to want more from me than friendship. I like him a lot, and there was definitely a spark...

So I have this female online buddy whom I know through a couple of friends, and she and I have had a great time chitchatting for a couple of months. I feel pretty good about this woman and I think I trust her. About a month ago, she and her boyfriend (whom I know a bit from a social event I...

This isn't really 100 percent a poly issue, but poly makes it more complicated, naturally. About six months ago I had a very bitter breakup with my secondary partner of two and a half years. I have some evidence that my metamour, his other girlfriend, who had been "promoted" to be his primary...

I am a very physical, cuddly person and my boyfriend of three months is the polar opposite. I am finding that I initiate everything in terms of affection between us. I take his hand, I initiate hugs and kisses, I initiate sex. He's fairly receptive to everything I do and seems to enjoy himself...

My much-loved boyfriend of two and a half years dumped me three months ago. The story behind that is as follows. He and I were already having some issues, had for months, and I was trying very hard to get our relationship back on track. I thought we were doing better. Then he told me a...

Well, I had my third date last night with my new sweetie and I am totally confused now. It went very well. We hung out at his house, ordered pizza, watched an old British comedy series from the 80s that we both adore, and made love for the first time. I think he's charming and adorable and...
