Why do people put themselves out there to date when they are too busy. They got 5 jobs, kids. They lure you in to waste your precious time

They aren't too busy. They'll magically make time for who they want to make time for.

Sometimes people just want it all and they think they'll be able to manage until reality sets in. Hopefully they take themselves out of the game once they realise this.

Their idea of making time for you might not be your idea of making time. As a single mom of a toddler, my time (unless he's asleep like right now), is extremely limited. If I make even a few hours for you, you are important, as those are hours I could be using with my son and nothing is more important to me than that. Perhaps it's perspective.

As a single parent myself, I made 2-3 hrs for him this evening, not easy finding a sitter. So that made it worse, I'm even starting to think if I'm doomed to be single indefinitely. I might give him a second this week, or move on. My gut is telling me he might have some secrets he his hiding.

Very, very true!

We all make time for what is important to us.

Exactly.

When I know I truly don't have time to devote to someone, I disable my profile. I've found when I don't have time, that's when someone will contact me. However, when I have all the time in the world, it's nothing but crickets...

There is nothing magic about it. Why SHOULDN'T they make time for whom they want and not for those they don't?

I really don't understand why so many people state on their online profiles how busy they are, they don't have time, they hardly can make time to go on a date - I guess it supposed to be a turn on somehow and they want to look more desireable.


To me, it is rather an annoying statement and I think "Why would I want to date you if I already know you don't have enough time for a relationship??"
