4-6 months you should know if you want some one

Advice I got was: you need four seasons to truly know someone and see how they react to stress/major events, how they treat people (including service staff, family, and friends), how the holidays are with this person, dealing with loss, and most importantly how do they act after the exciting stage wears off. Can you be exclusive within a year - sure. 6 months is a decent time to know someone but also still enough time for someone to keep a mask on. Just don’t lose sight that you are still getting to know someone even beyond a year. Never get so attached to the initial thought of the person that you are afraid to move on. Either way I think it’s up to what both people are comfortable with… I just wouldn’t let someone tell me that I have to be exclusive at this point of my life. They can move on if they don’t respect my feelings and wishes.

First date, cuz I am poly and like people to understand my perspective before we date.
