[qoute]any person i go out with will have to be understanding of that.quote]
True that.

<div class="quote">When someone posts that they only have a finite amount of time....they are living in the real world. All of us who works full time....take care of a child....own our homes etc. know what it is like to attempt to find time for dating.
It is better that someone know that up front .....schedules and lifestyles match better.

Exactly..Sometimes it's hard to find a time..In my case, I don't have a set time, I don't clock out at the same time, I never know when I come home, so ...
I am trying to make time, but not going to get fired because of it.

So ladies just my personal view, if your soo busy and have to actually announce to the fishy's that you are that busy, for me its not worth the effort cuz you are busy.... lol ....... i gotta go i'm busy

Well, yeah. That's the idea. I only want to date someone who gets it (and I'm not even all that "busy" - I just have a job that doesn't have regular hours, every weekend off, all holidays off, etc.).


then why are you on here then? If you are so busy maybe you should date the thing your so busy with?

What? Date my job? I want to go on a nice date with a nice man now and then. There's nothing nefarious about it. It's OK that most men aren't interested. Really, it's OK.

I also don't have a lot of time to date but that doesn't mean I don't want to date at all.. Hoping to find someone in a similar life stage as I am. Say so in my profile.
I've twisted myself into a pretzel in the past trying to pretend I had time for everything, fact is I don't. So now, truth in advertising. Simple. Eventually I'll get tired of repeating myself anyway and go back to the few line generic profile, no doubt.

It's easy to say "if I'm really interested, I'll find the time". Problem is getting the time to find out if you're interested! People have trouble committing their precious resources unless they have a sure-thing relationship they think they're getting into. Who wants to waste time going on 3 dates and then find out you're not compatible?

So I'm being facetious here because I don't make snap decisions about people and I DO have to commit time before I have a 100% lock on whether this is the guy I'll spend the rest of my life with....get real people! It's not easy finding a good relationship so make up your mind ahead of time to give it the time and committment required!

well I'm one of those lucky guys who has time...I make my own hours, no, I have a business I've owned for 30 years, but i worked my butt of for 20 so I'm afforded time...and i make myself available to her whenever she needs me...I also havce a home i take care of, i happen to take care of hers too...I love it! I know she works..and is tired when she gets home...I don't mind...what i do mind is if she places more energy on the things in her life more than me...it shows me where i stand...don't be upset if i rank you where you rank me....because what i do is importent to me, you'll just have to wait...all i have to do is find "her" now

Are basically people who want to know that somebody, somewhere in the world thinks that they are special. lol. You know people have their profiles up for different reasons, personally I like talking nonsense on forums, some women may like doing that, some women just want some affirmation that they can get a man if they want whether it's on internet or real life, that's just they "people" are because men do it too.

I don't think its attractive when a man is ALWAYS available to me anyways. I am one of those girls who says they are busy-but that's because I am. I am raising a child,going to school and working a full 10hours daily...so that's pretty busy right there. I will however make time for someone worth making time for. It's pretty simple. I am looking to meet new people and date but they have to understand I'm not always going to be free when they are free...I do agree why announce that your busy.

many of the things that were said are very true and have "living life here" written all over it ... but what i read the most is if there is mutual attraction whether your busy or not ... you'll make time if you find someone you think might be a match.... i just think that if you find someone and neither one of you can make time for each other then maybe you should just so call, live your life alone or just have hook ups cuz damn i'm living life here!! we all have our reasons... i only hope the ends justify your means............ and i thought our ends here is to find someone ... and to find someone it takes time.. and anouceing to your fellow fishies that you have limited time makes it sound they have to try harder than you do... well i'm going to say most of us have jobs and family commitments...... and if you think that makes your any more busy than the rest of us.... then you really dont have time for anything else... cuz what is more important that jobs and family's??

What she said, and I'll add, I don't expect them to always be available when I am free. I do expect that if we intend to date each other, we try our best to make the free times mesh, at least once a week. It may be only lunch in person with some chat/phone checking-in other days, but it needs to be a mutual effort.
