Can a single dad who has his kid full time really be too busy to text?

When it’s a nobel pursuit, no one ever questions it. Just read through these posts

“ Single dad” are like magic words.

hahahahah

This. The single dad thing is crap. No way all those guys in Tinder are single dads. It just seems too high to believe


Why would a single dad not be on tinder?

We have divorced friends who are on tinder. Seems pretty common. They are single and have kids.

But they are not single dads ?

A lot of men say Single Dad to suggest that they don’t have a lot of free time for a single person

Father is the correct term on Tinder. If you are married you would not know. Or are you looking? If you are, you don’t know the labels

It’s a game 100%. Some women fall for it and keep chasing which is exactly what these men want.

Then you have the other women like myself, who as soon as the first signs of game playing are shown-are out. I find the amount of women who will deal with these kind of games go down as they get older. Meaning, a 25 year old might put up with this crap, but a 40 a year old certainly isn’t.

The guys I know who do this call it “dusting”. Basically you go days without talking to the girl then “dust” them with a compliment like “I’ve been thinking of you” or “just wanted to tell you that you are beautiful” etc.. then go another several days without talking to them. Then might say something like “I’ve been so busy-and just dying to see you! Dinner Saturday?” Then when the girl responds all enthusiastically you just say nothing, let Saturday some and go without confirming/making real plans and then they say something like “I have just a couple hours of free time tonight-and I want to spend it with you” and then of course this one they follow through with because it’s guaranteed you know what. Basically they got it easy without having to do any real work. The guys I know who do this do it with people they are not actually interested in dating but wouldn’t mind having a night with.

Super common especially in younger guys 18-25ish.

Texts should be used to make plans to meet up. That's it.


That’s your opinion and preference. But clearly it OP’s. This guy isn’t making her a priority.

OP, pull back and keep your options open. When a man likes you, you’ll never wonder. He’s not that into you. Stop putting all your eggs in this basket.

⬆️clearly it ISN’T OP’s, which is what

I have no kids but he says that he texts when he can. He also doesn't want to say why he has 100% custody.

He's not into you. Move on.

He's too busy to text YOU in any event. Take it or leave it.
