[Luckystrike]

I'm in Fayetteville and looking forward to meeting people that think like I do!

[claytonjackie]

My name is Clayton and my wife's name is Jackie. I am 34 and she is 28. We are looking to add another female to our life. We are new to this but would like for this person to basically be a second wife (excluding the actual marriage part). This person must be committed to us only as we would be committed to them. I am into hiking and working outdoors. My wife likes to go on small hikes around the lakes and she works in an office. We have 5 cats. We usually don't go to alot of social events (ie bars). We are non-smokers. We like a variety of music including country, rock, and some rap. We have a stable environment and would like for the person joining us to respect that. We are easy to get along with. We believe in pulling your own weight (another words we are not looking for someone to lay around and mooch off us). We live in N Carolina and after we got better knowing you then we would love for you to move in with us to give it a try. We are open so any questions just ask. Thanks :)

[Carnita]

Asheville here.

[Wildthang50]

I hope to be moving to Eden, North Carolina anyone close to that area?

[TurquoiseKnight]

MF couple here in Raleigh. We have a new profile on polymatchmaker.com under the same name, turquoiseknight. We are new to this but have wanted to add a female to our relationship for sometime now. So far it seems difficult to find like minded single women.

[claytonjackie]

We are from Greensobor. We just recently got together with a group for N Carolina. They meet everyother thursday evening at IHOP in Burlington for dinner and get together if any one is interested. We enjoyed ourselves. A bigger group meets for coffee/drinks at a Starbucks in Durham. Go to NCPoly Home Page at www.ncpoly.org and signup for the forum to get the info. We are new to the whole poly thing and they are a great group of people. Just sharing info :-)

[drtalon]

My girlfriend and I are moving to the Raleigh area in June. We're visiting next week to house/rental hunt and hope to find a few of the poly social groups, too! :)

[JameeDee]

Wilkes County in the house!

[jbear76]

Hendersonville/Asheville here. We are very new to this and to the area. Have never been around or talked to people in the same line of thought. Would love to meet some like minded people that we could talk to and hang out with. J&H

[jbear76]

Still looking for some WNC people. Maybe have a small meet up next weekend in Asheville? Any poly Jeepers out there?

[jbear76]

no one in WNC? I find that hard to believe out here.

[drtalon]

@jbear76, have you seen http://www.wnc-poly.org/poly_02.htm ?

[Terra]

Chapel Hill area! My husband and I are brand new to polyamory. I haven't met any other polyamorous folks in my area, but would be happy to do so.

[transitapparent]

I actually live in Va but Elizabeth city and OBX is just a hop skip and a jump away.

[Cabdaddy]

I'm new to the site but I live in concord next to charlotte. If that is close for you.

[RfromRMC]

If y'all are looking for groups here's what I know exists in NC...

First off, there's a statewide NC Poly email list-serve. The homepage with info is at http://www.ncpoly.org
Subscribe to the list and you'll get regular info from them.
On that list, they announce a group that meets very regularly (every Friday for a coffee social, and on the third Sunday of the month for discussion group) in Durham, called Triangle Polyamory Network.
The listserve also announces a small get-together of folks who meet every other Thursday in the Burlington area.
And occasionally, they'll announce a meeting or gathering of folks elsewhere such as Charlotte, etc.

For those in the western third of the state, you have another group (WNC Poly) that meets monthly in Asheville: http://www.wnc-poly.org/

Hope that helps everyone here! :cool:

[NewToRaleigh]

I emailed the NC Poly address using the info on their site about a month ago and haven't heard anything back. I'm glad to know that this group is still active. I'm wondering if I should email again or just wait a bit, though I'm completely impatient!

My husband and I have been open since early in our relationship, though we're now hoping to find someone to be in a closed triad with us. Though I'd love that now, I know that meeting the right person cannot be rushed.

We just moved to Raleigh - this week! - and we're really, really hoping to connect with some other poly folks here so that neither we nor our little ones feel isolated and secretive anymore.

My guess is that maybe try again. I heard there was an issue with people's spam filters blocking things.
On the main page (ncpoly.org) , if you hit the logo square in red & white that says "NCPoly", it takes you to a form that if you fill out it'll put you in the listserv. And from then on you'll get all announcements.
(But make sure your own spam filters don't keep stuff out.)
If you have any more issues, private message me and I'll see if I can help.

[kittenmeat]

Hello,
We are new and wondering tips to meeting others to join your triad. Its is hard to find likeminded individuals in NC. So what sites can we go to or where can we go.

[puffytailcat]

hello! i'm in the triangle (here's my introduction!) (http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11402) and have tried to get in touch with triangle poly, as well, though that was just today so i'm (im)patiently awaiting a response.

if no one hears from them soon, perhaps we could arrange a casual visit among ourselves? my husband e and i are totally and completely shiny-new to this scene, just in the first stages of discussing polyamory as a possible form of nonmonogamy, and we would like to meet people just to talk about experiences and thoughts.

thanks!

[sssampso]

My husband and I are in Avl. Also looking for poly friends in WNC. you can check us out as sampson27 on OKcupid and Swinglifestyles.com (SLS).
Below is his profile-
I am 28, 5'7", and fit. I am a physically active, attractive, friendly, outgoing, funloving, respectable man in a polyamorous relationship looking for a companion for a longterm friendship and romance. I am interested in women ranging in age from 20 to 50 years old who are compatable. I normally have no problem finding a date, but have had trouble finding a women that is comfortable with the poly lifestyle. I am glad to share photos, conversation, maybe an afternoon of hiking/biking/talking/walking/dancing/dinning etc. if you have any interest in getting to know me.
My wife and I are high school sweethearts, together since my
Junior year in HS (1999) and have been married for 5 years. We are both natives of Western NC. Since about 2 years before we got married we have been vary open with each other about the possible desires for intimate relationships outside of our own. We spent years feeling this way, but uncertain of what avenues we could use to allow a nonmonagamous relationsip to exist. We decided to join an online swingers group but, have been disappointed with this approach in that it mostly connected us with people looking for cheep flings as apposed to the meaningful, sensual, fulfilling relationships that we both desire. Currently my wife is in a stable relationship, with a longtime friend who is also Poly. I have been unable to find a compatable woman who is comfortable with polyamory.

[noblesm1975]

Hi, we are from Sanford NC. We are looking to meet new people here and hopefully get to know a single woman who is interested in finding a family.

[puffytailcat]

just an update--e and i attended the triangle poly monthly meeting in durham (after e mailing tripoly_net@hotmail.com to ask where the meeting is held) and it was a really great group of people and a really interesting time. e was a little less enthusiastic than i was about going, but enjoyed the chance to really see how normal everyone was, and we're planning on attending the friday coffee meetup. so, if you're around and interested in a group, i highly recommend checking them out!

[jlinnc]

my wife and i had a third for a few months, but she (our GF) never could quite wrap her head around the concept that we were all equals and she wasn't just an "accessory", as she put it. that was 1.5 years ago. my wife expressed that she is interested in trying again, as am i. any emotionally and mentally stable women, 24-35, in the piedmont triad area interested in talking to an extremely communicative, honest couple?

[FruitofAmbrosia]

Hi All! We are in the Charlotte, NC area! Anyone else around us?? :)

Does the meetup happen every month? How do I find out when the next one is so we can go? We're looking for something just like what you've described here!

Fellow NC Polys,

I'm in Gastonia, NC, though I would be happy to meet others in Gaston, Lincoln, Catawba, Cleveland, and Mecklenburg Counties. (I would prefer to meet halfway with any Poly people from Charlotte. Traffic there is a monster and sure to get worse in 2012 with the DNC in town.)

[cjmobxnc]

I actually live in Va but Elizabeth city and OBX is just a hop skip and a jump away.

Finally! Someone close to me.... I'm in Elizabeth City. How long have you been in Portsmouth?

[RfromRMC]

I'm in Elizabeth City.

I didn't post it in my list of NC groups, but I imagine you might could get up to the Norfolk area pretty easily and visit their Poly group's events, if you're interested in doing that. :cool:
I believe their website is: http://hrpolyamory.com/
Good luck.
