GG--I think you make plans and if they happen to fall on a Saturday, bummer for him. NOt being mean, just being realistic! And guess what? He might actually want a night to himself alone or to be with his guy friends.

Also, over time, you will probably meet his kids which means you could see him more often.

Right now, the sacrifice is that you are dating a single parent.
Here are a couple of tips for this stage in your dating relationship:
1) DO NOT complain about not getting to see him when he is with his kids

2)DO NOT ask him to get babysitting

3) DO NOT bug him about meeting his kids

4) DO be relaxed and still have your own life and if you need to see your friends on that Saturday night, guess what? He might just ask to meet with you on a Tuesday night (on the weeks without his kids) or something!

5)DO remember that if this schedule thing is too hard for you, then it is and don't feel bad about it. You don't have to date him and don't feel guilty about it!!! smile
