I was informed that my building was sold and my lease is not being renewed. So now I have to find a new place to live before June. So I won't be able to see you until June if u want to wait but if not I understand. I need to be focused right now on finding a place instead of going on dates.

Her response was "there tons of free events". I explained to her that I won't be any fun to be around right now and she gets annoyed and ends the call.

Isn't my situation a good reason not to date?

lol...it sounds kind of lame. I would just assume you weren't interested in me and leave it at that.

Quite frankly, if you are planning to stay in the same area, it sounds like a cop out to me. You have 6 months to move and you are going to spend every free second of your life doing so?

This area has a 3% vacancy rate and it does take time to find a place but not every minute of the day to do so. If you had to move out by the end of this month, then yes, putting dating on hold would make a bit more sense.

Total cop out. It isn't like you need to be out in a couple of weeks. Weak reasoning. You're telling her to kiss off.

Maybe call her back and see if she wants to apartment hunt with you. You sound reasonable to me. It is hard for a homeless person to date.

I'd assume that you were making up excuses because you didn't like me or want to see me anymore. And I'd think that you were lame for not finding more sensible ways to end things.

Because NWGirl74 is right...6 months is plenty of time to find a new place. And way too long to wait, to pursue a fledgling relationship. I wouldn't expect anyone to wait that long for me.

Also, if I felt you were seriously telling me the truth, I'd conclude that you're not a very functional adult because a.) You can't handle this kind of situation without locking your life down, and b.) No part of you approached it like a cooperative, mature person.

The way I see it...I have issues in my life, I'll discuss them with those I'm in relationships with, and be interested in any advice and/or opinions they might have (team dynamic) yet ultimately do not expect my problems to be their problems and will handle them on my own without requesting or accepting material assistance (mature and responsible adulting.) Balancing independence with cooperative behavior is part of being a functional person in a relationship.

I'm scared because I have 4 months to find a new place and don't know if I will so how can I go on a date and be good company?

I'd take it you're not interested. Four months is enough time to find a place to rent.

It's not 6 months it's 4 months. Which is not long considering I have nothing saved
