I basically have given up. My ex no longer has my kids on the weekend so there goes my ability to host or stay at anyone’s place or even be spontaneous. Life is so full with work,study at night, kids ,friends, hobbies, doing life. TBH it’s in the too hard basket right now and when you know it’s going to be a hassle to organise anything it’s hard to feel sexy. I just deal with it now, that’s the way it is, but still kind of gets me down at times. - Posted from rhpmobile

...are generally the best at scheduling and often the most reliable. When one chooses to make an investment of limited time, you do want to see a solid return! 🧞♂️🤠⚡️ - Posted from rhpmobile

But makes you select carefully when you have an available window. Seems when someone special comes along, there seems to be an ability to shuffle things about. Apparently, it's happy birthday OP. Hope you get one away!

We both work long hours and have different shifts, so we don’t get to spend time together as it is even though we live together. And we find it hard to chat to people regularly when quite a lot of them turned out unreliable in the past. So we now prefer to spend time with each other when we are free instead of risking wasting it on others when they are not sure this is what they want. If we come across wonderful people who are genuine, yes, that would be different but lot of dodgy profiles nowadays are just putting us off. - Posted from rhpmobile

As much as the man was a misogynistic monster and a hypocrite, I do love John Lennons ''life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'' quote (apparently he was not the originator but his is the most famous).

With work, kids, building, plus distance, it can take a bit of time to meet just for coffee or casual drink. Most couples are understanding of this. It’s the single guys that can be frustrated by it. - Posted from rhpmobile

We have had the same issue, if we already had a circle of friends it would be easier to schedule social or play dates. FIFO, family and home responsibilities have made taking time to meet new couples for a social 'first date' low on the priority list. So we are making lifestyle changes which should help us get back into the swing of things, it is time for us to create a better life, work play balance. - Posted from rhpmobile

Happy birthday for the other day beautiful lady. I may be lucky only getting my kids every second weekend but i work shift work and travel long distances everyday so like most here i get limited sporadic windows unless i plan well in advance. Only every so often i get the miracle of an off the cuff meeting somehow squeezed into the day to day grind of reality. So no, you aren't alone in your OP, i guess we all just have varying levels of ability to get free. Hang in there though and enjoy the moments you can take xx - Posted from rhpmobile

I only get every other weekend to myself and I'm not going to go to the trouble of finding a sitter for a random meet or hook up. I'm not into those those days anymore anyway. - Posted from rhpmobile

Yes time is a major factor for me also. AND I am a single male. I run my own business, don’t employ staff anymore, but at times get sub-contractors in. I can work for hundreds of different clients throughout a year and do all my own invoicing and bookwork, bar my annual tax return. I also have 2 teenage children which I have almost 50%. So the weekend I do get to myself is important to me and I don’t wish to waste it on being stuffed around, and in return I understand the importance of time and will not waste anyone else’s. I also live in a more rural type area so spontaneity is not always available. I do make sure tho that I inform anyone I approach, or anyone that approaches me of my situation, virtually immediately upon contact. I guess it all restricts my chances, but hey, I’ve got no choice, but if I do find someone then it will be that they appreciate my time and availability as I will for theirs.
