Just because I am poly does not mean that every person that I date is or will be. In fact, with one exception, none of my relationships have been poly. There were those that were monogamous and they tended to be understanding of the poly life. These relationships had their ups and downs, some ended on good terms and others on bad. But my being
The new Match.com ad featuring a pair of sweater-wearing, musical strangers who start singing to each other in a thrift shop is too dorky-cute for me not to comment on. I'll even go as far as to say I would consider trying out the site just under the pretense that I, too, could meet a cute indie-rocker boy of my "impulsive" dreams. No, I'm
The primary difference with dating when it comes to men and their success (or lack thereof) is the fact that they are either a nice guy or a bad boy. Humans have always tended to fit into one of two categories: hunter or gatherer. When you look at it from this perspective, I would say that nice guys are the gatherers. They take the scraps
Announcing to the world that I am polyamorous was a stressful decision. In order to meet like minded people, I started researching to branch out of what I thought was Midwest conservatism.

Since announcing to the world, via NerdyPerv, that I was polyamorous, I felt a sense of relief. Most of my friends knew but there were those who didn’t. After the article went up, I found myself sitting down with my friends and family, one by one, to tell them. I got all sorts of responses: Why? Does it make you happy? Whatever
Our newest writer Brooke sent me to lady mag site The Frisky the other day. Ever since then, I've been wasting too much time with their site, getting a feel for their writers and stories. I've been loving what I've read so far, and I especially enjoy their relationship/sex/guy section (shocking, I know). Today they posted a funny article on
I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to start putting names together in Hollywood. Suddenly, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have ceased to exist on their own. Instead of two separate people, they are now considered to be a single unit: Brangelina. I have found this latest obsession nauseating. It isn’t just the rich and famous who
I’m pretty clueless when it comes to dating. Before my last boyfriend I never went out on dates—ever! I flirted and fooled around with boys, but I never went farther than a first date with anyone, and that’s including my ex!
