How to find time for dating?

Just that really? Not so happy at being single 🤣 Have my kids 50% of the time so you'd think dating would be easy. But with work, friends, gym, dog, house work how do you find the time? Just got back on the dating apps 😫and matched with a potential 4/5 people but 4 of them are over an hours drive away making meeting up even harder. I feel like I’m on my own all the time when the kids are gone but still not enough time to date someone and see them more than maybe once a week, and that’s if their childcare and work commitments fit with mine. I guess once I was in a stable relationship things would be easier but the actual dating and getting to know people is feeling a bit overwhelming. All the texting, calls then for them to disappear- such a waste of time. Two years now, had a couple of short term relationships that just didn’t pan out to anything. Feel like giving up but want that intimacy with someone I care about.

Watching this thread with interest OP as I feel EXACTLY the same. I am busy just the same as you are and have one ‘free’ evening a week… I like the idea of doing nothing but when I am alone, I’m lonely and think it would be the perfect time to see a partner if I had one.. but.. that would then mean I see them that one evening every week, so I’d I have no ‘free’ evening to do my own thing! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’d love to be in a loving relationship but it just seems impossible at the moment. I feel your pain ☹️
