The Photo Editor Dating a Newly Nonmonogamous Man

Photo-Illustration: James Gallagher This week, a woman testing her comfort levels with a man in an open relationship: 32, straight, single, Los Angeles.8:15 a.m. Alarm goes off. I’m meeting K for the first time after work today, which means I put some actual care into my morning routine. I put on my go-to date outfit: an olive-green jumpsuit that cinches at the waist, with a black bra top and black boots.

8:05 p.m. I walk up to the bar and see K standing outside. Wow. This guy is very attractive. Not in an obvious way, but he looks good and has such a warm smile. It’s always hard to know what you’ll get when you only see a few pictures. I start to wonder if the attraction is mutual. We grab a couple drinks and talk about our lives. We have a similar demeanor and easy banter. He’s in a similar industry, so we connect on that as well. He has a goofy laugh and it’s so endearing.

7:30 p.m. Home from work. I’m so tired, I’m not even hungry. Normally I would put on Netflix, but I can’t focus, so I just listen to music. 10:00 p.m. N arrives. 15 minutes in I remember why men can be such idiots. She’s pleasant enough, but we are exact opposites. The only thing we have in common is that we’ve both slept with M. I’m fine with meeting new people, but I have enough acquaintances.10:30 p.m. M and N are reminiscing about old times as I sit awkwardly in silence. Something clicks and I realize that this is the girl he started dating 3 months after his divorce, who he hasn’t seen in at least 4 years.

2:00 a.m. Drunk, N goes home. I go back to M’s to eat some more chicken and crash. I tell him to be careful with her going forward. We fall asleep holding hands.8:00 a.m. M asks if I’m awake. I whisper yes. He brings me in close, then grabs my hand and places it over his crotch. This isn’t an invitation to anything sexual. Truthfully, it calms his nerves. After a few minutes he jumps out of bed and announces that he’s making coffee.
