I, unfortunately, had to let an SO go today because he failed most of these (he maybe got 3...). He got all upset saying that i expected too much cause he worked 9 hr days. *sighs*

I thought it was funny because of that ^ and because "not... wanting to date others" is not "really" poly, too.

"If your man has a score of 4 or less, it probably indicates that he is just not that into you. If he gets 5-10 points the dude may have possibilities. Eleven (11) or more means he just may be the One. Look for more of these qualities over time to make a clearer assessment." Mono-12 PN-13 Derby-13 Leo-7 well I seem to have three that are "the one" and one that might have possibilities.

I think I could change my #9 where Mono is concerned if I think about it from the authors likely approach of monogamy. I think they are assuming that the "waiting" is until I am done with them all so as to be exclusive. Mono might see it that way I suppose. Check for that one in that case.

WOW! So my original thread got edited by someone not me. But it has also stirred some unintentional controversary with some. Sorry. I'd delete this threat but I don't have those types of powers here!
Boo on Erin!!!

I thought it was helpful. Sure, it was geared toward a very traditional monogamous mindset, but the gist of it was helpful for gauging any relationship with something like objectivity. I don't think polyamorous relationships are so wildly different that an entirely different standard of evaluation is necessary.

I would guess it was a question of copyright. Always better to just include a link rather than copy and paste an entire article on any message board, unless you have permission by the author to do so.

Hmmm. Oil Man works a lot of jobs and while we talk and text almost everyday, including fun sexy chat, I need physical interactions. I'm not someone that is satisfied with sexy text/chat or phone sex.
It's ok with me if I only see him every few months (his work schedule is that nuts) but I need to talk with him about scheduling dates in advance. The not sure when he's free thing is making me a bit irritable. If that doesn't work, maybe time to cut him loose. 1. Eager to see you and reluctant to leave Beloved 1, SW, 1, Oil Man 0 2. Wants regular consistent contact, asks for dates Beloved 1, SW, 1, Oil Man 0 3. Interested in you and your life Beloved 1, SW, 1, Oil Man 0 4. Wants to be helpful Beloved 1, SW .5, Oil Man 0 5.
