hiiiiii
Is your partner going on a first date with someone new?! Or you’re dreading the moment it will inevitably happen and aren’t sure what to do?
I gotchu! To the best of my abilities, of course ;)
Not everything I’ll say will work for you and that’s ok <3 Everyone’s journey while navigating polyamory or any form of non-monogamy will be different! Take what resonates and what doesn’t, you can leave to the side… you never know if down the line it might be helpful! Treat it like a box of tools, it doesn’t hurt to have a wide variety even if you don’t use them all the time!
For the longest time, I used to show-off about being super chill with partners going on first dates. Zero issues (truly). I was experiencing high waves of compersion and genuine excitement!
Wait… was compersion?
Compersion is being able to experience the feeling of joy for your partner's happiness and satisfaction with other partners, even if that doesn't directly involve you. Kinda like going on a dinner date with someone who’s having a fantastic time tasting their entree in front of you, naming how delicious it is and you while you don’t have an interest in their entree, you are happy they are happy ^_^
