I'm so over love triangles in fiction.

conulyI know that polyamory isn't actually the solution to all of life's little romantic ills, but at least it means authors would have to come up with some way to keep their characters moping and pining other than the thorny problem of "I love both of them, and we're all BFFs, and choosing one will tear our little semi-platonic trio apart!"
Also: This is especially ridiculous when fiction, particularly that ostensibly aimed at teens and young adults, tries to give an impression that the ONLY choices are "single" or "in an exclusive relationship". What about a middle ground where you date different people and none of them are particularly serious and anyway forever is a very long time for people who are really too young to be making major life decisions?
