Too busy to date?

[Iva0201]

he works 8 to 5 on the weekends also?

ya know 10 pm isn't that late for a friday or sat night.

when do you start work sat or sunday?

For me weekends are 3-10 as well. Sometimes, I even start earlier (because I dont have school on the weekend)

When I have school it is 7-2 Mon to Thursday. And I work 3-10 Wed to Sunday. So, I only evenings off are Mon and Tue

Anyway, I am going over tonight. If he is only after sex, I will know and schedule won't be a problem anymore. At least with this guy. But I was curious in general if it would be possible for me to date at all.

What does she do for a living that she is only available on said days? Doctors and nurses have this problem.

It's pretty common, so yeah. If you want to date successful, accomplished people, this is something you have to accept.

 

Honestly, it's kind of nice dating someone with a limited amount of time to spend. It makes the time you have together that much more special.

 

7 am to 10 pm (15 hrs/day) is not common and usually associated with a specific profession like firefighter or medical profession, but even then, they tend do do 12 hr shifts, 4 days on, 3 off (or something like that)...then that I can get.

 

I know a post office mail sorter at a distribution center that works 10, (12 hours on the holidays)

 

The last job I worked, it was from 7 am to 4 pm. Another job, 8 to 5pm. Most people work those kinds of jobs was a typical 8 hour, 40 hr per week work week.

 

I'd find it difficult to date someone like that....and I'm sure they suffer it as well.

 

Is it 7 am to 10pm, consistently or is it extra hours during a certain time of year?

Ok yes I’m pumping some bias here because I have dated a number of women who I seriously liked BUT time in each instance killed those “potential” relationships. I’m not saying seeing someone every day and this does not factor the other more subtle aspects of the dating dynamic.

 

So the question was…

 

 

For me absolutely not.

 

UNLESS for me she was someone who was AWESOME, hot and I saw some serious LTP worthy of me dealing with the limited circumstances early on and yes this varies with all of us AND it varies with age. I’m too freaking old to be THAT patient.

 

Okay, so, if the times to meet are restricted to specific, limited, days of the week, I would have a problem with that as well. Mondays and Tuesdays are not optimal days to date.

I have a general question for guys (girls welcome to participate as well). Would you date a girl who is only available on Monday and Tuesday? The rest of the days she is busy 7am to 10pm.

 

I know one that can only see me on Monday for 2 hrs in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. She's off that day go figure! She said she has a load of things to do that day..

 

If you work your busy, if your free and have a lot of money you can do whatever. Most women don't want a guy in the house 24/7. I question that myself. If you want someone that much in your life then why in the world would you not want them around.

 

If your guy isn't okay with your schedule they he needs to take care of you 100% and you don't have to juggle your schedule for him. If he can't then move on because you have to work and you can only do what you can do!

Sounds like you would be better off dating someone else on an afternoon schedule, then at least when school isn't in, you'd be able to spend more time together.

But I have to work full time and I go to school. Right now, I am actually off from school but I work 3-10pm and he has standard hours 8-5pm. I wish life was easier.

 

 

Couldn't you see each other during the day Saturday or Sunday?

 

The issue isn't so much that you are only available 2 nights a week but that the two nights are Monday and Tuesday. For people working M-F, 9-5 type jobs, the weekend is prime dating time.

Yes, I could meet him on Sat mornong/noon. And every second Sunday I actually have evening off.

I was just curious how my busy schedule would be percieved by potential dates.

Shortly after my boyfriend and I first started dating my work schedule had switched from 8am-4pm with weekends off to 2pm-10pm with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. He was really concerned at first that we wouldn't see each other as much anymore.

 

But we made it work. Instead of going to dinners together we'd go out to breakfasts together. (It helped that he had a flexible work schedule.) For nights that were important to him (like when his band had a show), I'd use a sick day at work so I could be there.

 

If a guy likes you and wants to spend time with you (and you him), you find ways to make it work.
