Dating while working a night shift (married, female, love, looking)

[Jame22]

Can it be done? I start work at 3am so I'm only free before 5pm. Whenever I go out it throws me off and I feel tired for days after. I'm incredibly bored during the day. I just posted an Ad on Craigslist but my expectations are extremely low. I just don't know what to do..I'm 23 and I really want to date.

Is the obvious answer to find a new job? I like my current job...

Any Suggestions? I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack

My first suggestion is to not post on craigslist, try another website like match or something like that.

You can start a profile on POF or some other dating site stating that you work a certain shift and would like to meet someone in the same boat. Maybe join a meet up group in your area .

Either find another night shifter, another job, or be willing to be a little tired. Can't have it all I'm afraid. I've been doing 7pm-7am for years and yes it's a pain for dating. However if the other person is worth it I'll cut my sleep short a few hours to meet them.

You can post how you'd like to meet someone who works a night shift also or is a nightowl and prefers to date someone with an odd schedule.

I workout late at night and meet other nightowls like myself.

Going to be tough but sure it can be done. If you are serious about finding true love and are in the place where you want to get married then you need to prepare to switch to a more desireable shift so that you can have time to spend with you special guy. I just let a female go that was in the same work situation as you. She worked 3 - 12 and I work 7 - 3 so it was a headache for the both of us. I could have dropped by her place late at night to bang it out and then head home but that was not my desire. I think you should look into another shift.

Do you get any days off?

There is tons of professions where people work night shift. Shouldn't be too difficult to find somebody.

How about a hot nurse?
Air port workers.
Manufacturing laborers
Drivers.
hotline people
movie industry
oil industry
24/7 fitness/gym staff
waitress/bartender
....
