This isn't anything dramatic. Just a sort of sweet story I'd like to share.

To begin with, while I'm not sure I'm polyamorous, I know for sure that I'm not monogamous. So I have this friend (20F) who's six years younger than me. Very timid and shy and just a sweetheart overall. She was hesitant to be my friend at first cause she thought she was annoying me since I'm quite a bit older than her. But when I made no complaints and showed that I genuinely enjoyed her company, we started getting closer and now she looks up to me like a big sister. And it's kinda sweet to have a little sister who doesn't think I'm so uncool (my real little sister doesn't like me and thinks I'm so lame.)

One day my friend, let's call them Max, came up to me and excitedly told me they were dating 2 people. One boy and one girl I think. See Max ask me a lot about sex and dating since I get around a lot. And while my promiscuity scandalizes her sometimes, she's general grateful for the stories and advice. Although I guess she tried to learn from my experience, a lot about my situation doesn't really apply to her because I'm more focus on sex than romance. I've told her as much.

Still I think Max wanted to be a bit like me so they tried out polyamory. And it was great at first, a lot of fun dates. But after a few months, the guy started to become somewhat of a jerk. Nothing abusive, just mean and unpleasant from what I've gathered. The girl was also kinda absent in this drama. Not supportive I think.

So they all broke up.

And for a week Max didn't tell me because she thought I would be disappointed with her.

And I just thought that was so cute that she's more heartbroken about what I think than the failed relationships.

I told her to relax. I don't think any less of her. And that polyamory isn't for everyone. But in the end I think she'd be grateful for the experience. I said I wish more people were like her. Trying things to be sure of what they want.

While they're not actively seeking a polyamorous relationship anymore, Max says she'll keep an open mind.

She is currently dating a girl from Russia and is happier than ever.

And truly I wouldn't change a thing about Max... except maybe change the fact that she keeps trying to get me to play this ghost hunting game with her and her girlfriend. I like it freaky in the bed, but not that kind of freaky!

I hate horror. Lol.
