Workaholic single parent.

I am a single guy. I haven't wanted to date for awhile because I am really working on myself. I think of myself as a catch but it seems like the woman that I meet are never the full package and I really think I deserve everything or nothing.

I am not interested in online dating or speed dating. I find that my sense of humor, personality, and charm are hard to see in text. I do not however have time to actually go out on dates right now. At least I do not have time between 70 hour a week job, co raising a 4 year old daughter, and working out.

Anyone in a similar boat? Mainly just curious if anyone had a solutions. I am not upset about being single but I would enjoy having more friends to go out with occasionally whenever I get that rare chance to go out.

Are there any single parents group in your area?

When I was in the boat that I "didn't have time" for a relationship, I didn't date. Period. I just couldn't do right by the other person. I did, however, cultivate friendships for the rare times when I had a chance to go out with someone. But those were mostly female friendships. Sounds like you're not talking about guys.

Even now, I find myself jumping to the conclusion that it would turn to a booty call situation or, at best, an occasional date here and there but no meaningful relationship in between, and I wonder if you're gonna have a hard time finding a woman that won't jump to that conclusion, or will want a relationship (for the right reasons) with a a man who can give her no time.

How can anyone be a "full or total" package when they can't give of themselves and make time to meet new people? Really you are either available to date and meet new people or you aren't. No matter how great a guy is on paper..I'm not going to be able to do much about it if he's working 70 hours a week now am I? Focus on what is most important in your life until you can eek out some space for someone else. Because lets face it a woman who is also the total package isn't going to want to be ignored 90% of the time.

Just a brotip - you come across as incredibly egotistical. And not the fun kind

I am also currently in the "meh, dating takes too much effort/time" mindset... so I just hang out with my friends. I don't need to go get new ones, they already exist. Did you recently move or something? If you want to meet new people go do something fun YOU want to do, and you'll see other people there that you can introduce yourself to.

I'm not completely sure I understand what that means, but I did LOL. Thanks for that... :-)
