Hello!! Im new to polyamory and wanting to learn some more about it before getting into a polyamorus relationship. A little backstory I've questioned polyamory before but due to a lot of internalized issues I never accepted it until recently. Ive been flirting with these two people (in a group chat with the three of us) and I definitely think id be into dating the both of them. They aren't a couple, we are all just friends but do flirt often, show romantic feelings etc and neither of them have any partners at all but are all polyamorus. Ive been doing several days worth of research.
Is it possible to just date them? By that I mean like how monogamous couples are but with three people. Is that still polyamory or does polyamory have to be constantly open. Sorry if this isn't making much sense I have no clue how to word this.
Is there such a thing as closed polyamory basically is what im asking.
Ive only ever been in one throuple/poly relationship when I was 13 and it was a dumpster fire as you can expect at that age. Im coming from the main poly sub but most people there seem to just think that its not worth trying or is too hard.
