Just forget about anything beyond casual dating for the near term. By the statements you are making and the questions you are asking, I can already tell you will not have the mental bandwidth to do all three and these women do not deserve to have a guy who will only do a lackluster job when it comes to having a clear mind being with them.

Am I being harsh? Quite possibly, but my intention is to just be realistic with your situation.

I just rather have a job doing something I am passionate about vs hating my job and telling my self i need to show up today.

On top that my job will not feed a family and i am not going to help bring kids into this world if i cant give them everything I did not have growing up. I am not bring kids in to this world when i am just above the poverty right now i make to much for money for scholarships for school and i a white male so I got to work harder which is fine by me.

It can be done. It's all about balance.

I worked full-time, went to school full-time (undergrad) and was dating my husband at the time.
My husband worked full-time and went to grad-school full-time all while being married with 2 kids under 2yrs.

Balance...and realize that you are not going to be able to spend every day/night with your SO.

Sounds like you have your head on your shoulders man. Just keep working hard, don't worry about women.. it's a waste of time to care too much anyways. If you meet a sexy girl maybe you'll make time.

Also, if you seem really unavailable and busy it'll make them want you more anyways

Well if you read my post, he does. But dating is definitely 3rd on the list, priority wise.

I read your post and it doesn't say anything about dating.

Either way I think you missed my point.

College work and dating? No problem when I was young. I'm sure it would kill me today, but that was a long time ago.

This is such a load of crap that I get so sick and tired of hearing from the PUA's (and others) over and over.

Sorry, but that just isn't necessary. I mean, I'm not one who just sits around doing nothing, but I make sure that I have plenty of time for R&R (or being active if I choose).

I have a steady job and work 40 hours a week, but not ONE MINUTE longer. I mean........its just sooo not worth it to be stressed out all the time.

Time management is important which sadly, few people I come across seem to have a handle on.
