Thoughts on polyamory? (Do you understand it? Do you think you could ever have multiple partners at once? Would you date a polyamorous person?)

This one is hard to answer.

Before my egg cracked I would reply (and have replied before when asked) that I wish I could but I don't think I have capacity to date even one person, let alone multiple. That was when I thought I was a cis guy and tried hard to "fit in" with the heteronormative system. It didn't work super well.

Now things are quite different, but I haven't really gotten used to it yet. Especially since I still don't really have proper emotions, and dating is an area where it's a big problem. I can logically consider if I want to be with a person or not, and often I do, but I don't really feel it, if you know what I mean. In fact, at one point I was wondering if I'm aromantic because of that. So I need to get that fixed first, I hope hrt will make it at least slightly better.

So:
- I do understand polyamory
- I would (at least try to) date a polyamorous person
- Can I date multiple people? I don't know, I need to find out whether I can date one person first (and I don't mean just flirting on fedi)
