Am I losing my mind or is this a good idea?

As most of you probably know, I've been offhandedly keeping my eyes open to meet a girlfriend - someone who would want to have a relationship with both me and Eor - for a long time (*cough*fifteenyears*cough*). I've done the personals sites - that rout really doesn't seem to work for us. I like getting to know people slowly and finding out if we really have ways of thinking in common. I've also been running binne (bi in northern new england) for almost as long, and used to run polynne (for polyamorous people in this area). I find, though, that having only one thing in common with a person isn't the best way to interact with them. I don't think that starting a really specialized group - like bi, poly, slash writers from Maine - is going to work, because I think it will have probably only me in it, unless I go out recruiting ALL the time (which would probably piss off people on other lists and communities) and constantly ask people to post recommendations or anything at all to the list.

Or... I suppose I could randomly wander around posting stupid things like this and this to all the communities I'm in.

I think I AM losing my mind.

Pretty much it in a nutshell. Which, of course, is why I root for every poly relationship portrayed in fiction, in hopes that someday it will percolate through the societal consciousness and become acceptable.
