Hey, Ellipsa, I need some advice.
Since I got here, I met a lot of fantastic people.
I totally fell head over heels for one of them and, somehow I lucked out, cause they fell for me right back and we're dating now. I'm crazy about them! We click like I've never clicked with anybody. They just get where I'm coming from and understand me. It's like we're on the same wavelength whether it's serious stuff or being a couple of gremlins. They're amazing and wonderful and funny and sweet and beautiful and... well, you get the idea. I could gush forever. I've never felt this way for anybody before!
Can you feel the 'but'..? Cause there's a 'but'...
I also have a friend. The best and most amazing friend I've ever had. They've been there for me in so many ways, since day one of my being here no less. They helped me get settled and started here. They've been there for the highs and the lows, every time. We've shared some really important things with each other and I trust them with my life. They're amazing and wonderful and funny and sweet and gorgeous and... yeah.
Are you seeing the pattern here?
I know what being poly is. I understand how that's supposed to work in theory.
But how in the hell do you put that into practice?
How do I bring this up with either of them? Should I even try? The chances of me screwing up and ruining everything are probably sky high? Would it be better to just try to make the feelings go away? I don't think I can. And I'm pretty sure my bestie has feelings for me, too. I'm really bad at hiding my own, it turns out. So they've gotta be wondering about me.
I just don't know where to even start? I'd be the first guy to say 'talk to them' but, man... being the one on this side of everything, now, all I can think is:
How the fuck do I even do that?!
