Males and Females

Another Iowa grad student who's into ancient history and other common interests is messaging me on OKC. She was very up front about looking for new partners, so this could become something if we keep up the communication.

The twist is that she's in a polyamorous/open relationship, specifically, her BF is dating another woman at the same time so she's starting to try doing the same thing.

The other twist is that she has no profile picture (she's very cautious with her internet presence), and I have no idea what she looks like. Her profile says she's white and of "average" body type, which could mean pretty much anything. She's at least nice to talk to though and seems to be genuine in what she says about herself.
 
That said, the semester's now in full swing and, as you guys suggested, I've calmed down about this whole dating thing and taking it in stride, taking what comes my way rather than actively pursuing it.
 
I tried dating someone who was in an open relationship with her husband and I felt like a creep. She was only looking for the physical part of the relationship but it was still weird. Like, that's all I was looking for at that stage of the relationship but couldn't bring myself to make a move because I felt dirty.
 
I did that once (dated a girl who was in an open relationship). But I was in an open relationship too. I wouldn't date a girl in an open relationship if she was the only one I was seeing. The sex was nice but I always felt guarded around her, wouldn't let myself like her too much. If it's just sex you're after it could work. I like some of the other things like companionship and cuddling also though.
 
Eh, not really. Women have generally been nice to me and I don't mind talking to them in a non-personal way. It doesn't really have anything to do with bullying either. The guy in that video sounds more like a SentinelSlain. Like honestly, I mostly just get lonely, and I don't even care about casual sex and parties and shit. When I watch commercial pornography, I'm someone that skips to the obligatory makeout scene at the beginning rather than the cumshot at the end when I'm climaxing. That's not to say I wouldn't have all sorts of sex if I could snap my fingers and have an automatic harem, but it's not something I really care about.

Although fwiw I do remember having a nightmare when I was only 5 years old of two older girls coming along and destroying a cherished figurine and I think it made me a little paranoid.

This is really honest, inspiringly so.

Over the years I find myself feeling more and more warm to the idea of abstinence.
 
Polyamorous OKC girl continues to message me daily. I boldly asked to see a picture of her and she gladly linked me to her deviantart page....

Turns out she's a hardcore cosplayer, though not bad looking at all. She has pink hair at the moment.

Hmmm...
 
I was stood up at a brewery where my ex was hanging out today.

In related news, I just deleted my OKC profile.

In other related news, I have a date with a girl next Wednesday that we've both been looking forward to for... 4 months? She was administering a class I was taking and there were fraternization clauses, but her contract ends next Wednesday.
 
I am like a sexual cactus, thriving in the dry spell I'm in.
