Maryland anyone?

Hello. Is there anyone in Maryland? I have really bad social anxiety so I can't go to events, which makes it really difficult to make friends in the poly community and meet possible partners. Anyone in Northern Maryland that would be interested in friendship?
 
@Bluebird can you help out Blueberry with any intros?
 
Hello! I’m also in Maryland, but a bit away from you. There are tons of events and meetups - including smaller groups - in Baltimore. Have you done any searching on Fet? There are some area-specific Facebook Poly groups as well that cover our state, and that might be a good way to meet people and chat one-on-one first. PoDS - Maryland might be a good place to start.

You can message me if you’d like.

I have tried fet. It's just porn, I left it because I wasn't going to post porn pictures and men just wanted to cheat on their wives or children trying to get me to sleep with them. I've tried the poly Facebook groups, they just devolve into fights and arguments.

I wouldn’t use Fet to find partners, but smaller groups with meetups that are local to you. Maybe if you don’t want to attend, you could still message attendees and strike up a friendship that way?

PoDS doesn’t seem to have any arguments, so I would recommend them. I’ve been to a couple of their board game socials.

Yeah, social anxiety makes group events impossible for me. I hate it, I wish I could do them. But it scares the living daylights out of me.
I tried a Polyam discord group, they were hateful to me telling me that the reason I couldn't find anyone was because I wasn't engaging or I was too boring. I left it. (That server collapsed because of fighting. ) I tried kik groups, they're inactive or bots.

Hmmm well other than what I’ve suggested, the regular dating apps are what I use to connect with others: OKCupid, #Open and Feeld. All of them have drawbacks and you gotta do the work to sift through the nonsense, but I’ve found solid partners and friends over time.

Good luck with your search!

Yep, been on and off the apps for years.
#open is dead up here. No one up here really on it. Feeld, okc, bumble, tinder, reddit. I was on fb dating, but I was getting so many hateful messages I quit it a couple months ago.
Not trying to be a pain, but been at this for many years. That's why I was excited to find this site. Maybe find a community here.
 
I do think Polyamory.com is a great community, and you can definitely make friends here. Just keep reading and posting on our various threads and boards, little by little you get to know people, and they get to know you.

I've been on Fetlife since about 2009. I've met several people from there, some as friends and a few dating prospects. My current bf of 21 months and I chatted as friends all through the pandemic and met once vaccines were available.

I met my gf of 13 years on OK Cupid but I quit that place when it got too complicated to match with people.

My bf uses Feeld and he's gone on a few dates and also made platonic friends.

As women we have to sort through a lot of frogs to get to a prince.

You don't need to post "porn" pix on Fetlife. I don't. I post some attractive/artistic clothed pix.
 
Hi there! I’m not far from you. I grew up in Perry Hall. I now live in Cecil County. I would love to get to know u more. I just got on this site, so bare with meI navigate it.
 
Hello, Blueberry and Bella2722. I'm Jim(mmm) and live in Baltimore, with an ENM pansexual partner Erica who lives in DC. We would both be very happy to get to know you. Just post a reply here and we can figure out some fun way to connect.

I miss polymatchmaker.com, which closed down at the end of May. I met Erica four years ago on OpenMinded.com, another site which shut down (quite some time ago). I have occasionally met friends and possible partners on OkCupid. The only other app I have used (without much success in any sense) is Feeld.

It's nice to make contact with fellow Marylanders!

Like Bella, I just joined this site (on July 16, 2023).
