C'mon, take the poll, I wanna know, because I answered "Yes" to almost all of these.

[Poll #501132]

EDIT: if you're not on my friendslist, kindly introduce yourself in comments please! Otherwise I'll spend all day analyzing your userinfo, trying to figure out who you are and where you came from. Thanks. My coworkers thank you as well, as they really like it when I get work done during work hours. ;-)

Cool. I'd been meaning to check out mono_poly but had forgotten to. Thank you!

BTW, you might find my comments on the list of "You know you have ADD when…" to be amusing.

And mono vs. poly does seem to be something that people are wired into. It's possible to change such wiring but very, very difficult.

I swore off trying to change my wiring back in 1999 when I had a very traumatic coming-out process. (I was a devout Mormon. I came out as lesbian. There ya go.)

I can (and do) date several people at once when it's in the "getting to know you" phase, but once the emotions start getting all squishy, my focus narrows pretty quickly. :-)

I'll happily read over your comments once I can click a link ;-)

Definitely not a request for you to change your wiring. Just a general comment. And knowing that you'll change as emotions deepen is good. I've had "issues" with people swooping into the poly pool and swooping out again.

Devout mormon => lesbian must've been a bit disconcerting. Were you able to keep any of your friends?

No, I wasn't able to keep any Mormon friends. I lost my entire support system pretty much overnight when I made the decision to stop fighting my sexual orientation and start accepting it. (Fighting it had kept me at the brink of suicide for about six months at that point.)

Surprisingly (to me at the time), I was able to keep my family. I knew my siblings would be fine, but I really was expecting to lose my parents over it. I was very happily wrong about that. :-)
