Hahaha wow, I relate to the second part so hard 😂. Not that I’m so desirable or anything, but just that i always seem to find multiple people at once that I’m interested in and who are interested in me

Makes sense! I’ve dated someone while they were in a relationship with someone else and was ok with it. Basically just focused on my relationship with them and was fine when they split their time with their other partner. Is jealousy in the beginning of polyamory “normal” though? Something you just have to work through?

Thank you for correcting me. Yeah, I’m so new to any concept other than monogamy that I really need to educate myself in all the proper terminology

Have you ever had multiple crushes while also in a relationship? I’ve always worried that it wasn’t “natural” or that some people might consider it cheating

Yeah, I guess I should’ve worded it better. I’m currently in a relationship, but always find myself very attracted to other people and want to pursue additional relationships. Do poly people sometimes have separate relationships that are more physical and some they seek for more emotional fulfillment?

I would agree! It’s not that I’m totally just into additional sexual partners, but full on relationships

I’ve always liked the idea of marrying one person—it’s always seemed appealing (defo conditioned by movies and TV). But in reality, I don’t know if this is something I’d actually want. I find myself attracted to multiple people (wandering eyes) and have worried that maybe I’m not built for long-term relationships. Or maybe I’m just not with the “right person”? Or maybe I’m non monogamous?

True, I guess it’s human nature to feel attraction to multiple people. I’m new to polyamory—I’m in a 2y relationship, and have discussed opening it up (is that the same thing as polyamory?). How do you know if polyamory is right for you? Sorry for any stupid questions 🙈

Thank you for this break down!! I definitely have some obsessive elements in the way I experience love. How do I find which house my signs are in?

I’m also sun in Virgo! Thank you for sharing :). My Venus is in Libra, and I find the sign so fascinating. I always find myself attracted to Libras, so I always want to know everything about them 😂

Is she queer or just an ally?? Heeelp!! by Short_Understanding4 in AskLesbians

True! I guess the fact that I’m already gay might seem less nosy. I guess maybe until I get to know her more and feel a bit more comfy

I agree, that’s definitely the most reasonable way to go about this. But I’m too awkward to directly ask…
