Towards the end of the Long Distance union, I noticed that I was finding other people attractive … but not in a way that made me feel guilty or seemed harmful as I passed through the subway.

As it happens two of my closest buddies from senior school are Poly, and something of them usually talked about it for me as one thing i will try/that would fit me personally well (she additionally kept telling me personally to decide to try Contra Dancing – but that’s another weblog entry!).
