*sigh* Ahhhhh the memories. Christmas parties at a certain someone's home. Jaggermeister shots off my *clearing throat* I mean someones cleavage. Those were, by far, the best parties I have EVER been to.

Mass make out parties were tha' shit. Specially when it was a bunch of hotties just kissing and showing boobies. I may still have a delightful picture of several femme hands on my chest, all with their different colored fingernails. mmmmmm

I think it's gonna be a long hot Summer!

[CherylNYC]

I'm non-monogamous, but not ecactly poly. I mean, I'll always reserve the right to play around outside of a primary relationship, but I don't think I can have more than one fully developed romantic relationship at a time.

Can I still play in this sandbox?

[aishah]

yes! at least...i'm totally okay with all folks who are interested in consensual non-monogamy playing here.

Well good morning. Aren't you a handsome devil.

How is everyone this fine Friday!

Welcome to aishah's Lair.

Mingle * Flirt

[Linus]

It's morning? Gah... I need more sleep :P Maybe a cuddle or something..

[TenderKnight]

lol.. all this flirting going on.. I'll be honest, in person, I find it really hard to flirt, mainly because I don't want to "offend" people.. So I usually just awkwardly ask them out for coffee or to play and then flirt once they say yes, lol. Maybe it's a safety buffer thing for me.. I know that "rejection" is always part of the game, but I still tend to be on the safe side.. But getting MUCH better at "grabbing up my balls" and just asking people out

Apoc, I have had an eye on you for a while, hon.. Smart, funny, and sexy.. Some good qualities there, my friend

Have enjoyed reading the thread so far, look forward to more.. Oh, and Linus.. How you doin'?

OMG, those were the best parties! I miss them. That was a great picture, I remember my nails were Chrome.

Remember the party we were gonna play make up and we ended up playing make out?

I don't even know many girls who want to show me their boobs any more...we need to get out more. Heh.

I'm not even sure I am up for any romantic relationship. They seem to crash and burn for me. So glad to see you here!

Saw the thread at the top of the new post listing,
so dropping in to say hello to all.

I don't know how to not be poly,
I don't know how to not be open,
I don't know how to not be honest
I don't know how to not be flrity.

Welcome BooBoo!

I know how, but I am burnt to a crisp trying to make monogamy work. It is not because I want multiple partners, it is because I want whomever I date to have multiple partners so they don't expect me to be everything to them.

Where in the UK did you live? How cool is that? I have only been to London, but quite like it there.

[aishah]

thanks apoc! & others i'm really glad folks are enjoying this thread.

also, i baked today. *offers cookies* i've been told that baking is the sincerest form of flirting. or at least one of the forms. and besides, COOKIES.

how are you enjoying being back in the states, misterb? i've only been to the uk once (outside of manchester for a few weeks and london for a couple days) but i reallllly loved it there and want to go back someday

for me, i could probably do monogamy. i've done it in the past. i just...don't understand why i should. i like being polyamorous i love people and i love expressing love towards people in different ways. i love not having to be everything to everyone and not expecting everyone to be everything to me. i love feeling connected in different ways. i love not having to hide the fact that i love people a lot, or not having to channel it into certain kinds of platonic relationships for the sake of...monogamous respectability or whatever.

[FtMGuy]

Yes it was good fun until it wasn't! I lived in South East London,
Zone 3. I loved our flat and the school I worked at was right down the road, HOWEVER it was very, ummm un queer,, straight folks, so felt a bit out of my eliment
At least in Lincoln I know all the queers or most of them and a pretty large group of FtM guys so its all good!
Where in the world are you?

I love cookies and cooking for me is a GREAT way to flirt!

When I been to London it has mostly been for work and we were in the West End area to hire singer and dancers for Cruise Ships, when I went for vacation I stayed near Trafalgar Square since I am familiar with that area. I love it there, but agree I see way more queer presence here in Nashville. Lol.

I have done Serial Monogamy and have been in relationships with more than one person before. I have really been thinking a lot recently about jealousy and what horrible things it brings out in people and why we insist on placing ourselves in situations where we will be miserable not to be alone.

[FtMGuy]

Dont get me wrong the queer &BDSM world is hoppin in central london tons of stuff going on but for going on the train and the underground in chaps and a black tshirt to go to an event just dont cut it for me!
Central lond is incredible! i did love going in and seeing stuff
THe overall experience was a good one!

jealousy is a werd one for me, I thnk for me I need total openness and honesty about what my partners are up to most because I dig hearing about it all, and also its been my experience that when people dont want to talk about it is when things get weird
Any way its hot and I am drinkin iced tea with my shirt off ,in fron of the fan watchng tv and hangin out online!
Hoe you doin'?

In a poly relationship here. I've been in poly relationships on and off for 20 years (wow, that sounds like a long time). I have had great luck with it. A lot of first dates (sometimes, it only takes one date to discover, um, not so much...<g>).
