New Poly-curios guy here with a question..
Hello to all. I was wondering about several dynamics associated with the poly lifestyle. 1) Since I'm new to the poly lifesytle how do you meet other poly people in a safe environment? 2) If/when I meet someone how long should I wait before confiding my new found poly status? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for listening!!

Some people find partners on OK Cupid, a dating site. Others go to poly meetups/munches. Sometimes you just might meet someone randomly who is open to the idea...
It's best to tell a potential partner that you are poly asap.

On OK Cupid you can say you're polyamorous and highlight it so people can search you for that term, and vice versa.
Check the thread here, "online dating, what's your thing?"

I generally find it too confusing to use the word "polyamorous." Most folks either have no idea what that is or they think it's swinging. I tell people I am not interested in exclusivity. They usually get what that means, and it's easier to discuss it further. I don't look only for polyfolk nor just within my local poly community, either. Lots of people are open to it even if they've never heard the word before.
This has been discussed in numerous threads before. Do a search, maybe look for the tag "dating."

try doing a tag search here for "dating"... others have been there before and have written about it here.
