Is it worth trying OLD to find a part-time middle aged boyfriend?

I'm late 40s - with young with young children. I'm busy but would like a partner. I could only meet someone once or twice a week. I don't really imagine ever wanting a man to move in with me and the kids.

Is it worth trying OLD? Are there likely to be any guys looking for a very part-time girlfriend? Or should I just give up and accept single-dom?

I have an arrangement of this type - he's the one with a younger child 50:50 but neither of us want to live together. We meet twice a week plus the odd other occasion, usually when his little girl is at her mum's. Been doing this for 3.5 years.
We met on OLD, was not inundated with either dickheads or dick-pics and it was not grim, but then again I'm not in the UK so maybe things are different here. Wasn't on Tinder/POF, though, but on a website-only thing which might appeal to a different crowd.
