I’m a man. Only ever dated, been attracted to women. Recently I met this guy and I’m having weird feelings. I can’t quite tell if I’m attracted to him as a person or just like the way he treats me; nonetheless something makes me want to treat him differently than any other guys - the way I would a girl I suppose. My friends say I might be attracted to femininity in general regardless of gender and that’s why I feel this way, and the reason why it hasn’t surfaced until now is because I haven’t yet met a guy to tick those boxes. Wondering if anyone has been through something similar.

I have. Tried to do the poly thing a few times, but the folks involved were far too emotionally messy for a serious relationship.

That would probably be the way I'd want to go, but, personally, I've seen very very very very few poly relationships with a good dynamic between partners, remained chill, and were emotionally healthy.
