When I was polyamorous and single, I found people took me far less seriously because I didn’t already have a romantic partner. They assumed that I was just casually dating until I found the one, even when I repeatedly stated that I was intending on having and keeping multiple partners long-term. Of course, people still don’t take me seriously when I already have a partner, but it’s really important to assert your boundaries and expectations clearly, and don’t date people who don’t take you for your word.
