I realized I was poly around 2 years ago. For most of the time since then, I was with a partner that wanted to be poly, but just wasn't. Since breaking up, I've had a few hookups with a coworker, but didn't feel like continuing with them.

I currently have crushes on at least 4 different people, but I don't know how to do anything about them. I doubt most of them are open to polyamory, and I'm scared of seeming like a creep. What situations is it even ok to ask someone out?

I'm not really good at dating in person, or really anything in person but being openly polyam and just flirting with people openly has seemed to go fine. It's not been perfect for sure but being upfront about what I want and what I'm offering has mostly worked.
