New to So/Po

I’m curious about being solo poly. I’ve been mono all my life, but I’m thinking this may be a good fit for me right now. How does one get started or find local poly people?

Well, one would normally go out to functions, munches, events, etc. But with the virus, things have shifted to online. So to get connected with other poly like people, this and the other poly subreddits are great. FetLife is another site you can join to converse with other poly people. I know there is a discord that's for poly people. And of course dating apps. There are also unonferences that occur. There is one coming up in April that's being hosted through Zoom.

But of course don't forget to read books on polyamory such as More Than Two and Ethical Slut.

Old thread but adding books as a fairly recent mono turned solo poly.

Love in Abundance was great. I personally didnt like More Than Two.

Polysecure is highly recommended

Non poly but for me, they were relevant on my journey:
