Y’all, my search for a girlfriend has begun! But first, an update. I kind of left things hanging with my last post, didn’t I? My bad… Benny is now my boyfriend! I did ask him (again) as well as share that post with him and his wife Clementine. After some discussion about what this label… Continue reading This is a story of switching teams.
This is the story of loving through glass.
Because this title is slightly poetic, and might leave some people wondering what the fuck I’m talking about, I’m just going to go ahead and explain the meaning first thing. When I say “loving through glass,” I’m describing the experience of connecting with someone in a loving and meaningful way, but still feeling like there’s… Continue reading This is the story of loving through glass.
This is the story of a brutal ending.
Things with Jefferson are over now. We had a good run, but in the end, it wasn’t meant to last. I wasn’t sure at first I even wanted to write this post. I loved him, and I felt that I owed him a certain level of privacy and respect, considering that we had a genuine… Continue reading This is the story of a brutal ending.
This is a story of three little words.
For once, I really don’t have much to write about. And ya know what? That’s pretty awesome. My polycule feels so complete with Gerry, Nadine, and Jefferson (and in a somewhat ambiguous yet still incredibly meaningful capacity, Benny). I love each and every one of these humans, and the way that they fit into my… Continue reading This is a story of three little words.
This is a story of playing for keeps.
Since my last post, things have changed significantly for me yet again. Fortunately, this time instead of having my heart broken or my mind fucked with or my trust eroded, something really good has happened in my poly journey. And despite all of my hesitation and doubt, this time I know in my heart that… Continue reading This is a story of playing for keeps.
This is the story of an end and a beginning.
These past few months have been a very enlightening experience. For one thing, I’ve discovered that less than 1% of people on online dating platforms are actually decent humans. This isn’t a scientific number, however based on the number of people I’ve connected with in proportion to the number that hasn’t ended with my mistreatment…… Continue reading This is the story of an end and a beginning.
This is a story about giving an undeserved second chance.
Before I share my latest misadventure, I have another Bottom of the Barrel guy to put on blast. This guy, who I will simply refer to as “K,” started off incredibly strong. We talked over the course of a few days and he put so much effort into our conversation that I was quite honestly… Continue reading This is a story about giving an undeserved second chance.
This is a story of finding light at the end of the tunnel.
For this post, I have a new Bottom of the Barrel guy to share with everyone. This one is very… confusing, to me. I’m going to call him Dylan 2 because he has the same real name as Dylan and frankly he doesn’t deserve his own pseudonym. So Dylan 2 connected with me on Feeld… Continue reading This is a story of finding light at the end of the tunnel.
This is a story about my dating process.
Hot off the heels of my last post, I bring to you this special post about my online dating process! And yes, I need a process. Poly is hard. Online dating is hard. Online dating as a poly person is insanity. And yet, I persist. Truth be told, as frustrating as it can be, it’s also… Continue reading This is a story about my dating process.
This is a story… but not really.
Okay so this post isn’t really a story, just an update. And since I’ve already used the words/phrases “trudgery,” “crashing and burning,” “frustration,” “ups and downs,” “having nothing left,” and “WTAF?” I don’t think that there are many ways left to describe the complete and utter defeat I feel at this time. My creativity in… Continue reading This is a story… but not really.
