It's extremely important for me to have a partner who will accept romantic gestures, no matter how gooshy they get, and not be uneasy with them. It's natural to be uneasy because in traditional or vanilla relationships, in the beginning these gestures can stand in for actual communication, and accepting romance can be misread as accepting some sort of love or commitment. I need to just discuss emotional boundaries in a poly relationship, keep checking in on them, and be myself when it comes to being romantic (which is usually excessively so). I do not need it reciprocated, as I tend to be attracted to people who are not naturally "huggy," but I do need it to be accepted and welcomed. Otherwise, I feel inhibited, cautious, and not myself.
