This is very new to me, yet not new at all.

I've always known that I've been able to intimately love more than one person at a time. Through my first few relationships I was very in love with a second person at the same time (though not intimate). Just about a year ago my long-standing girlfriend and I agreed that we were secure in our relationship and both felt like brining someone else in would be nice. Since then, I learned about polyamory.

​
After weeks of long conversations and research we found that both of us are polyamorous. My only problem thus far has been finding friends that understand where I am. I grew up in a very conservative southern baptist household that circled around finding "the one". So my friend group, unlike my girlfriend's, isn't very keen on the ideas of polyamory. I'm hoping to find some friends here.

​
Maybe people that can help me find myself through this lifestyle change that hasn't been as smooth a transition as I had initially (fervently) hoped. This has been an interesting past month or two. Hoping I can make some friends here :)
 
Welcome to the forums! Everyone here has been incredibly helpful to me as I'm trying to learn my place in this new world. I'm sure you'll have some great advice from them as your journey continues.
 
Greetings AlexDMaldo,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

You should be able to find some friends here, just look around and see what calls to you, post your thoughts, questions, concerns, etc.

Beware of the dreaded unicorn hunter label! You won't necessarily run into that problem but I thought I'd better give you a fair warning. I think the key here is to just make sure you don't objectify whomever you add to your relationship.

I'll be following the intro board so if you ever need my input, just ping me on this thread. (You can often ping me on other threads too. ;))

Glad to have you with us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)
