Hi Everyone!

[PurpleWineGlass]

Hello there

My boyfriend is very supportive of me pursuing intimate and emotional relationships with women, and we would ideally someday love to have relationships with women together. I'm not interested in relationships with other men, and my boyfriend is not intereated in going into a relationship with another woman on his own, only together with me. He does not believe he could fall in love with another woman, but it would still be a major priority that our potential partner is respected, wanted, and cared for by both of us.

We both agree that the first step is for me to enter into relationships with women and go from there, without any expectation from them that they will ultimately become involved with my boyfriend as well. I am bi, but haven't had much opportunity to explore that yet. I live in a conservative state and have grown up surrounded by people who are very judgmental of bisexual individuals. I've been able to open up to my current partner more than anyone ever before, and he has been so supportive and helpful in my growth. Since we have been together, I have gone on dates with a couple of women, but haven't found anyone I want to continue seeing yet. Like I said before, this is a conservative area, and also not the biggest city, so the dating pool for the kind of relationship I want is pretty small (or so it seems). I thought I would come here and get more information on the lifestyle, hopefully learn some things.

Sorry for writing a book Congrats if you made it this far and also thank you for reading!

Greetings PurpleWineGlass,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

It sounds like you have a really supportive boyfriend, that is an important piece in building a poly life together. Sorry to hear that you have to deal with many judgmental people, and that your dating pool is so small. Don't get discouraged, just patiently keep dating and the right women will eventually arrive. In the meantime, learn as much as you can about poly, this site will afford you many opportunities for that. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Welcome!

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
