Should I pursue this ?

To preface this I’m male and 56 ( not sure the matters really)

I split from a long term relationship a couple of years ago and am mostly happy but am looking for someone to share life with- have been on the dating apps and met a few nice people, but we not quite clicked for various reasons

Recently I have met someone I really like, same kind of age, background, interests, values and experiences etc and it’s all good - unfortunately this person is self employed and has little time for actual dates as she is always busy with work ( no work no income) , so I’m currently at a bit of a crossroads as to whether to actually pursue this relationship or just call it quits and give up

I have known her for 3 months and we have 4 dates a few phone calls and a few text chats

opinions welcome from people who have more dating experience than myself please, is this normal?

It's early days. I would give it more time tbh.

I’d cut my losses and walk away. She hasn’t really got time to date, or she’s meeting other dates while stringing you along.

It doesn't sound like she has the free time to pursue a relationship. I would keep looking.
