I've been on this subreddit for about a year now and during this time I have read countless posts from people new to polyamory about their first relationship and any questions/worries they might have. There are so many different ways how the first "poly" relationship experience can look:

Two new people decided on their own to have polyamorous relationships and are now dating each other. A new person who chose polyamory and is now dating a person who already has one or more partners. A couple who chose to transition from being monogamous with each other to each dateing other people aswell. A couple who chose to transition to polyamory to make room for one specific person that they both want to date. Etc...

I know that there are so many intelligent, experienced, polyamourous people on this subreddit and I would like to read about your experiences/opinions.

-What kind of first relationships have you seen work the most? -Which ones are likely to end in a lot of hurt feelings (in your experience)?. -What kind of first relationship would you wish on someone who just got into the lifestyle? -What are some success stories of first relationships that you have witnessed or been a part of?

I'd love to make this a room for discussion with hopefully some good advice for the new folks (like me)!

P.S. sorry for any grammatical/spelling errors. English isn't my first language.
