In the polyamorous community, we refer to the initial drug-like rush you get in the first 3-12 months of a relationship as "NRE", for "new relationship energy". It is definitely much different from the kind of love you experience when a relationship gets up there in years.
Woah, hey, me too! Yeah, it's awesome to be able to meet other people and be excited by the prospect of new love. My partner and I have been dating for three years and transitioned to poly 2 years ago. It's been great for us both, having the excitement of new relationships while also having the strength of a longer relationship as well.
