I agree G....I do think texting, calling etc. is needed to stay in contact. This girl and I only live 12 miles apart from each other however in separate towns. While that is close we will still struggle (if it goes past the first date) to find time to meet up every week because of our children, their activities, and parenting schedules. She has hers full time and sometimes the dad will take them and sometimes he won't (according to her he is an alcoholic). Granted her son is 16 and her D is 11 so they are old enough to be left alone but mine on the other hand aren't of that age yet. I am getting a cell phone for my oldest for Christmas so I would feel comfortable leaving them at home for a bit assuming we went out to eat in my town and I was only 5 min away. I do leave them home alone for an hour or so when I go to the gym in the mornings but I go at 5 am and they are still asleep.
I mean obviously if this materialized into something and at some point she met my girls and vice versa it would be a little different but still time together, alone will probably be a premium especially if she continues to travel for work like she does.
I am not saying anything is going to come of this but whether it is her or someone else it would be an issue unless our parenting schedules were perfectly aligned or if she didn't have any kids at all.
My XW BF has kids that are in college so when it is not her week with the girls they probably spend every night with each other and I assume he probably comes over 3 to 4 nights a week when she does have them.
