[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has a terrible schedule for dating, which I would take to mean he isn't really ready to date/get into a relationship.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for understanding my question! I in no way want to reduce his time with his kids and fully accept kids come first. I also won't even be meeting his kids for a long time yet. The custody schedule just makes it really difficult to date.

I previously dated a guy who had one week here, one week there custody and it worked great. This schedule and the constant changes makes it really hard to work with.[/quote]

He has a minimum of 4 nights a week available for you.  Most often more. Probably at least every other Saturday, but likely way more, since no Mom willingly gives up time frequently with kids.  If you don't have enough of a life of your own that you can't fill three nights a week with professional obligations, getting together with friends and doing things with family and for yourself, then you really don't have enough of your own life to be getting involved in a setious relationship.

If you think a good dad is a guy with a custody schedule that less than 50/50 (absent special circumstances) then you are also not ready to choose a life partner.
