Re: 1+1+1=3?
I do more reading here than posting, but .... I do have a feeling I can add something helpful here .... So,
Since the post is on the Poly section, it suggests to me, a Poly person - & OP mentioned this early on - that there is a srong hope that this current friendship can go deeper into the area of true intimacy and sexuality. Poly thinking in the main, tends to lean heavily on openness, trust, clarity of communications .... most of which leads to transparency. (And not to forget the other partner ... how does he get into the communications/discussions??)
Often, to reach this level of trust and understanding can mean being prepared to make one's self open to being vulnerable and concsiously being able to live with that risk, even though it may be painful.
Moving slowly, respectfully, openly and with honest intent, would be how I would be most comfortable and sensitive to the potentially wonderful opportunity that may be ahead for you all.
Sounds as if you are already moving, with sensitivity in the right direction - Good Luck!
