To demonstrate, this is the routine I normally use:
She asks: "what were you doing last weekend?"
You reply: "Just out and about"
Her: "So you were with another girl?"
You: "What? Why would that even matter?"
Her: "just tell me if you were or weren't"
You: "I've already gone through heartbreak once, I'm not jumping into anything exclusive again. And I thought you were different? Please don't be like every other girl out there, I need someone like you in my life."
The last one yes but I don't like the previous avoidance tactics. After having sex with them once or twice you make it clear that you don't do monogamy and you won't be exclusive anytime soon. If they want exclusivity they will have to go elsewhere. Don't string them along (more below). If they want you they will have to play by your rules.
The ultimate tool in harem management is nexting (soft and hard). If they create drama, play games to get you to go exclusive, soft next them. I would for instance
soft next your 'one sided exclusive girl' for creating drama with these emotional emails. Once they realise you are serious and that they can't change you they will either accept or go elsewhere. Not every girl will be down with it. The ones that are will appreciate you consistency, openness, and honesty. Note a lot of poly arrangements are temporary. Fuck buddies for instance tend to fade out over time.
If you are serious about going poly and don't want a monogamous relationship in the near future e.g. the next couple of years, then please don't act like they can be the one to change you. They need to know you won't change your stance. Otherwise it's very unfair on the girl and leads to broken hearts (remember leave them better than you found them). Reading other's posts pua-zone.com
http://www.pua-zone.com/ has a brilliant poly forum, girls will often leave when you deny them exclusivity, but occasionally come back after going out with a beta AFC for 6 months. Makes you think. It also seems young girls e.g. 18 and 19, who are in the height of sleeping around are the most open to a poly arrangement.
