Hello! Me and my bf of 1 and 1/2 years are newly poly. There is a couple we have been friends with for many years now and would like to pursue a relationship with but we are unsure how to bridge the communication gap, and we don't want to appear predatory and potentially ruin the existing friendship between us and the couple. Advice?
Heya hun~ I mean, first of all I suppose I have to assume that this couple knows that you’re poly! Assuming they do, secondly, it’s important to know for yourself how you want the future to look with these people. Are you ONLY interested in them if you’re together as a quad? Because of course, you all might be poly, and very happy for it, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to both necessarily be into both of you! So think about all of this. Finally, a relaxing afternoon, maybe with a drink or two, some relaxing activity or something, and casually broach the subject. Mention you’re interested in them, but make it clear that the friendship is more important. If they’re not interested, then no harm. Any other advice followers?
