Hrm...

Got to a point where I thought I should mention my poly-ness to the girl I was with at the weekend. I like her, want to get to know her better, so I thought I should throw it in early and see what she thought. Reaction wasn't entirely negative, but it was a long way from positive either - she hadn't heard of the idea before, and said it was "weird" when I tried to explain it. 'Not good weird, not bad weird, just weird'. :-\

I dunno, I suppose this conversation rarely ends with "Wow, what a great idea! Where do I sign?", but it's a bit nerve-wracking wondering if you've just put someone off who might have liked you otherwise.

By the way, I linked this page as a 'quick guide' - does anyone have a better one? I don't think she read it anyway, but...

Meh. *bed*


Update: she sent me a message today (the next day) saying that as she's not planning on getting into a serious relationship any time soon anyway (having just finished one), she guesses it could work out okay for now. She's willing to see how things go, basically. *phew* Thanks for the comments everyone... I was feeling pretty down about the initial reaction.
