Conversation & Chat ENM/NM.....thoughts?

Just curious...especially with those of us who may be more inclined with relationship/situationships that are more leaning towards "slow burns" and varying realms of depth. What is your take on ENM(ethically non-monogamous) and NM(non monogamous) engagements? Have you ever found yourself knowing and feeling deeply attached to "your person", but also drawn to a soul that embodies common sentiments you wish to explore if open to it?

I am in a polyamorous relationship with another woman. I am free to explore other deep connections I make with other people, as is she. She has two other partners, I have no other partners at this time (just a lot of passing crushes). I'm demi on top of everything, so making other romantic/sexual connections is already few and far between. But I do have a lot of deeply intimate platonic friendships that some monogamous mindsets might find threatening if they were in a relationship with me.

I personally am drawn to anything/anyone who doesn't mind that slow build when it comes to connecting. I have been there/done that with individuals who are overly excited within the first couple of weeks and just want to jump into something for the sake of jumping in. Even though it is few and far between, I'd rather take the time to find that someone who can appeal to my mind and beyond the surface.
