[quote=Anonymous]Not all of us have custody schedules where we get entire weekends off.  Not all of us have custody schedules where we always have the same days off.  And yes, we typically recognize that this will be a barrier to dating.  Let's face it, kids in general are a barrier to dating.  Most of us recognized that and had them anyway.

Thing is, once most of us are full-fledged grownups, we understand that adulthood generally comes with obligations.  It isn't always possible to get away at the last minute.  Nights out or weekends out can take planning.  I'm not really a spontaneous person anyway; someone  who desperately wanted to fill my life with grand spontaneous gestures would drive me nuts.

As for the single dad who felt bad for his child-free girlfriend because she was always disappointed in him not having more time - I don't think he came off as an asshole.  I think it's good that he recognized that the relationship wasn't a good fit.  He needs someone who has less free time on her hands and his ex needs someone who has more time for her.  Maybe we could fix her up with the OP.[/quote]
