What does it mean when her profile says she is in a 'open' relationship?

Question - (19 September 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 September 2008)
A male United States age 30-35, *obro writes:

As I mentioned, I am starting uni soon.

I added a few people on facebook doing the same course or are in the same hall as me.

Anyway, I was talking to a girl I added a few weeks ago today on the facebook IM service. She doesn't know anyone going besides a couple of people she knows on facebook.

So I asked if I could add her on MSN and hinted we could meet sometime.

I added her on MSN and then she signed straight out of facebook and we talked on windows live for about 40-60 minutes. She was really lovely and sweet with me when I mentioned a couple of things that had bothered me and asked if I wanted to talk about these things. I was really touched that someone who has never met me has invited me to talk these things.

Anyway I ended the conversation, saying goodnight and reminding her we should meet. She said goodnight ending with xxx (so sweet in my opinion).

I am starting to feel attraction here! And the funny thing is there is a big reason I shouldn't: political views. She is conservative while I am a socialist. Normally this would be a huge turn off for me, but I really don't care.

Also, she is listed in her profile as being in an open relationship. I am not sure of the implications of this.

Is there any way I could consider a possibility of a relationship at some point?

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (19 September 2008):

Being in an open relationship means you have a boyfriend, and you are committed to them long term, but you go out and date other people for fun.

So be aware that although she may date you and everything, she may not ever see you as a serious boyfriend.

Being in an open relationship is not a very conservative thing to do, considering the whole basis of conservatism is family values and marriage and 2.4 kids.

I think the best thing do is see her and get to know her and then ask her where you stand if you start dating.

Good Luck!! xx
