What they don’t teach you in Etiquette Class

Well I never really had etiquette classes, but I’m assuming this will be one of those things they don’t teach us young guys n dolls in there…

As most of you know I’m poly-amorous, I’m not getting into the entire ‘what does it mean to you’ thing today cause well, I don’t want to.
Simply isn’t why I’m writing this today

No, back to the etiquette thing.

I’ve recently met an awesome guy who I’ve fallen head over heels for, which is all good and awesome.
C. knows (OH! he’s actually diving into his own crush with L. at the moment, it’s so CUTE!) and P. (the latest addition on poly-land) is fine with the situation aswel.
This is pretty much the second time in my life that I’m juggling two men at the same time and it’s very different from the last time this happened.

In this case I am in love with C. and I have a major super mega crush on P.
The situation feels good, I feel great and I think both of them are also good (correct me if I’m wrong there guys).

So whats the issue?
Well as we all know it’s almost December. The time of holidays, fun, sharing of time and presents and a lot of social things we obligate ourselves to.
I will probably spend some time with my Parental Unit at their place (dec 25th) and C. is thinking of tagging along for that. The Parental Unit won’t understand the 2 men thing so we’re fine there, I don’t have to explain anything
My sister knows everything and is super excited for me. She’s a swinger so can relate to a extent, they are romantically monogamous and sexually open.  I, being poly am both sexually but especially romantically available for more then one relationship. So yeah inbetween the christmassy blah I can talk to her and I can sit out the family obligations easily.

Then comes the hard part: friends.
I mean, how does one tackle the entire ‘which man am I taking to what party’ thing?
And how do you introduce your partner?
I’m still uncertain about what I’ll be doing on NYE.
C. might be going to Berlin, not sure yet.
Part of me wants to snuggle away and just be cutesy.
Then again I would also like to go to friends and celebrate with them.
I think P. would fit in fine with said friends but I still feel as if it might be awkward or frowned upon as to who I’d take.
Could also take no one and go alone to whichever (if any) parties I get invited to. But from past experiences I know I have being the solo person on a all couple evening, so if that might be the case I would probably just pass anyway.

The other solution, so easily found actually, is that I organize something!
I could invite all my lovely ‘new’ Amsterdam friends as wel and have them meet the other friends
I think most of my recently met peeps will get along very well with all the people that have stuck it out with me for so long
Then again, the city is probably a bitch to get to during NYE and the arrival of JTK (I’ll update on him later) in my house would exclude any dog owners from taking their beloved pooch with them. And I do like them dog owners!

P. had for another idea: celebrate together in the city, check if there’s any metal-ish things going on and we can get our party on then

Anyway, no clue yet and one of the biggest obstacles is the ‘who and where?’ question
