The Split-Attraction Model. For those who identify their sexual orientation and romantic orientation differently, for instance biromantic homosexual, aromantic heteroexual, asexual homoromantic, or other identities along these lines. Some people wish to seperate their identities in this manner, however some do not, and are often called non-SAM insert orientation.
Kim: Martha identifies as a non-SAM aromantic, meaning they do not identify with any sexuality, and feel little to no romantic attraction
Tom: What.
Kim: She doesn't identify with the SAM. Just check the other UD links it'll make sense eventually.

The process of dating more than one person, with each person's knowledge and consent. Often there are extended conversations about boundaries between each couple, triple, quartet or so on. Oh yes, in polyamory not everyone needs to date everyone. So Tom could be dating Jerry, Samantha and George, George could be dating Jerry, Connor and Tom, but not Samantha, Samantha could be dating Tom and Betty but not Jerry, George or Connor and so on and so forth. Also, monogamous people can be in relationships with polyamorus people, so for example Connor might only date George, and not desire to date anyone else, while still being okay with George dating others.
Connor: Oh yeah George is polyamorus.
Dumbass: Polyamory is just cheating with more steps!
Connor: Cheating requires a lack of consent. I like George dating others. It makes him happiest and it's cute to hear about the dates, gives good ideas for ours.
Dumbass: You can't be happy or fufilled in polyamory!!!!
