Sorry about this guys...it's become evident that i have to do the annoying thing and delete this post.

Thanks all for your responses; it has helped greatly.

If anyone reading this quoted directly from the original post in their response, i'd be really grateful if you could remove the quote part.

Ugh.` Sorry again to be a pain.
Thanks for all the advice.

Before your get your romantic head tied up in thinking this one is a "keeper", think about the following:

1) How will your parents/family/friends react when they find out he/you are not monogomous to one another)?

2) How will your children (if you ever have any with this man) be affected by your relationship choices?

3) Will YOU get bored by his "ladies man" attitude? And when that happens (because it will happen), what will YOU do?

4) Why do you have to "shield" your feelings? If you're mad, don't you feel comfortable in expressing your anger? If you're sad, the same thing? Why do everything in a "light hearted" way? This tells me you're at the very beginning of a new relationship where neither of you wants to step on the other's toes. What happens when you really let out your feelings?

5) Why do you worry so much about what he thinks? Be secure that you are valuable and that he should be so lucky to have a woman like you.

6) This is THE most important one: What will you do when you've asked him for the one million'th time to pick up his socks, and he hasn't? (There's humour in this. But there is truth in humour).

You'll both need to have a long talk...MANY long talks with one another, over a span of months, years...a relationship isn't something that you can sort out in a week or two. Get VERY comfortable with yourself and YOUR wants FIRST. Make YOURSELF a priority FIRST. Do NOT get deeper into this relationship if YOUR needs aren't met because you WILL build resentments...and that's just doom to a relationship.

Be VERY truthful to yourself. To thine ownself be true. If you lie to yourself, you cheat yourself from a life of happiness.

I would suggest taking a weekend alone...and writing down as much as you can about what YOU want from a relationship. Ask him to do the same. (If he does this, at least you know he's putting in the time and effort and is serious about you. If he makes an excuse, take that into consideration as to what you want to do with this man in the future). My motto: actions speak louder than words.

After, talk about your writing/thoughts. See where you are compatible and where you aren't. Talk about why you aren't compatible and how that could change. Talk about where you see your lives in five years. Ten years. Will you still want to "fuck around with others?" (I call it for what it is).

What about children? Do either one of you want them? Then what? What about careers? Money? House or condo? Cars?

If you're seriously thinking this one is a "keeper" then you need to seriously start thinking about a LOT more important things.

I hope that helps.

It sounds like you want to continue this relationship with the polyamorous rules. It also sounds like he has been upfront and honest with you about it. However, I missed if you have been bluntly honest with him, sit him down and talk with him. Sometime when there are no distractions and be clear about what you want from him and this relationship.
Lastly, same rules applies as any other relationship, if you want to be as much of a keeper to him as he is to you. Then you have to be more than sex to him, is that currently in your relationship? But continue communicating and be honest with yourself, as well as being honest with him.

Clearly, the name you have chosen for yourself says it all.

If you have any guts at all ...
Best advice I can give - don't be exclusive.

Spread yourself around - just be safe - in every way.

You already know what you are getting into, and it is up to you (not us) to decide if you are comfortable or not with polyamory. Many of the reactions you will get here will be based on how the responder feels about monogamy vs. poly. Since you seem to have already made the decision to step into the poly mode, my best advice to you is to keep the communication open. You don't say if these other girls are also aware of his polyamory, if they are not then there is real trouble ahead for you. You also don't say if this open relationship applies to you as well (whether or not you currently feel that you might want to see others).

Define the borders. You will be confronted on numerous occasions with new relationship energy when other partners come into things, and you will experience feelings of jealousy even if you are not feeling them at the moment. These are the times you will need to talk it out. These relationships are continual work, and they need to stay very honest if they are to work at all.

As far as how to keep him interested, what interests him now? In this regard it is no different from monogamy. You take your chances.

Your age would be helpfull.

If you are satisfied with sharing him and being one of many fine but realize his time is limited and as you slide down the chain as he aquires something better eventually you will fall off.

Since your bi it can be an opportunity to meet others of the same pursuation and perhaps develope something with one of them.

You really have little control over the situation but if it floats your boat go with the tide. If not drop anchor or tie up to the pier.

Keep in mind the harder you try to be part of his world the harder he will push you seeing how well he has you hooked. Relax and enjoy if thats what suits you.

I'm confused. You mentioned he was a potential "keeper", but now I don't see it written in your question.

Have you re-thought this potential in him?

i don't understand the question i suppose...

you're fucking a guy who openly admits to liking to fuck many different women and now you're one of those women; so what's the problem?

No, never.

It's a most unusual and unique presentation.

As it happens, i am familiar with fart...er, fetlife.

But no, i shall restrict my advice seeking to this one little space on the web.

In all seriousness, i am in a little over my head with this situation, and this is the only place i'm going to be able to get some outside perspective anytime soon...

But apart from that, keep up the patronising sarcasm...i used frequent this board quite a while ago, and your comments have always made me laugh.
Too many people in this scene take ourselves far too seriously, myself included at times.
