He has the time that he has...you either want to spend time with him when he's available, or not. This is the one case when a guy making other things (his children) a higher priority than you and asking you if you're willing to work around his schedule is acceptable. Finding time to date as a single parent is hard. I am dating a single parent but I'm the one with more scheduling contraints than him. He totally gets that I only have the "night off" when stbxh has the kids, which is on a wacky schedule. If he chooses to make other plans on those nights then he doesn't get to see me, it's that simple. Fortunately he always chooses me when he is available smile
