My gravitation towards the LD thing I think is more because I worry about balance so much. So I know I can get done what I need to get done during the week, then I know my time is dedicated to my partner when I am with them. The bright side to that is getting to know them well through communication. Because that's what our alternative is.
I do, however, like to meet a person pretty much right away. The thought of simply talking to them for months (because that also takes a whole lot of energy) and not connecting when we meet I do not like. I don't like emailing forever and texting with online dating. I like to meet as soon as I can.
But lately, it seems as if I can't. I'm always doing the mom thing. But I vow to get a babysitter if something good comes up.
