I am
single and when I was with my ex, we were poly. Right now as a single woman, I guess I am mono at the moment. However, when I am
ready to date casually/short term I still want to be to able to see other people, on my terms, and making no promises to others only to myself. Being poly but solo if you will....
The point I was asking in my question is being seen with a woman in an intimate way in public. The first and only gf I had it was intimidating, we held hands and kissed in public. What I didn't like were the disapproving of eyes which shouldn't have been their biz. I am a
very private person, nobody knows much about me unless I tell them or they only see something that they think is the present me.
I haven't practiced poly in a long time and was wanting to date a woman for either myself or if she wanted to date my ex and i as a couple. I did go to a poly support group such great info and plan to go back for more once **** is established. So yes, I still carry a great deal of shame....
