I was dating someone else who I also liked, but just wanted way more of my time than I wanted to share.

Op here. Yes. She regularly texts and calls me. I have seen her twice since I wrote this post. One was just a quick dinner before class, and the second time she stayed over at my place. I am not going to push for an exclusivity talk because I don't want to push her away.

Not all nurses are promiscuous. I have two nurses in my family who are not anything close to being a slut.

What is that last line about? It sounds like you are worried that she's seeing someone else and you want to be exclusive. If so, you should talk to her about it, because if you haven't had a conversation about being exclusive there is nothing wrong with her seeing other guys. (When I said I don't want to be joined at the hip, I meant I want time to do my laundry, see friends, and attend community meetings. That said, I would never date a man who called women sluts.-or even "not sluts." I strongly suggest you examine your attitudes toward women.)

Op here. I was responding to a pp who said nurses are notorious for being sluts. I was saying how false that was. I do not call women sluts or condone anyone who uses that language.

All that said, fwiw, I think people who are "soooooo busy" in the dating phase of life are big red flags. I mean, this woman is in school, doesn't have a job, doesn't have a spouse, presumably doesn't own a SFH, and doesn't have kids (the big one). Yes, school is demanding. But I think almost anyone who has a full time job, kids, home obligations, spouse, all added together can look back on their days where their only obligation was nothing but being a full time student. And you look back and think how easy things were. The woman can't literally be doing school for 18 hours a day 7 days a week. Because how could people go to nursing school with kids? Or a spouse that they maintain a good relationship with? People do those things concurrently, and are successful. Anyone who can't get their sh*t together more as a student without any other obligations is a big red flag to me. I dated a guy in college for 3 years who was "so busy" with school, but in hind sight he was just a narcissistic drama queen who was incapable of prioritizing anyone other than himself ever.

The exception being, of course, if the "so busy" person is dating someone who for whatever reason is totally fine with it (either they like alone time, independence, or are equally busy themselves). But if someone is already frustrated that their SO is "so busy" while you are dating, it's a big red flag for me that this isn't going to work.

So when I read OP's post, I think either the woman is a drama queen who needs to get her sh*t together, or isn't into OP.

Op here. She isn't just a student. She works full-time and is 6 months into a 2 years masters program for a CRNA. She spends most of her time outside of work or in class to do homework and study. You sure look down on students as if that isn't hard. You sound the drama queen.

If she's in a 2 year masters CRNA program, she doesn't "work full time". She has full time clinical obligations as part of her education. The two (clinical and classwork) add up to a significant full time job. But it doesn't mean she can't find time for other things. She's not that into you.

Op here. You don't have a clue. She does work full-time as a nurse while going to school for her CRNA. She works 35 hours a week as a RN and then goes to school. She easily averages a 70 hour week with all if that combined.
