How do I handle a situation like this when I finally meet the right one?

Question

I have an odd work schedule in which I work most weekends and some evenings. I only work about 20-25 hours so far which is a big improvement on what I was getting. An employee quit so I got a few more hours after 3 months of employment. When I talk to guy online and he asks if we can meet sat or sun , for example, I have to tell him that I am working or that it will have to be in the morning, etc. Guys seem to get the idea that I amworkin full time and puting in a lot of overtime too, when in fact, I'm pretty much just working part time. It doesn't matter in the initial stage of meeting a guy because most are one date wonders anyway , but when I meet the right guy, how to I bring up the fact that I don't work all those hours and I don't make enough money to even pay my bills? I never told anyone I work alot, they just jump to that conclusion because I work weekends and get off at 9 at night (I don't go in till 3 though). Also when should I bring it up?

Answer 1

When you finally do find the right one, be honest with him. If he is really the right one he will be there for you.

Answer 2

Just say, "Right now I'm working part-time, but the hours are really weird, and I'd like to get a full time job with more normal hours." That should cover all the bases. It will explain why you work evenings and everything else.

I hope you're not thinking that a guy would only be interested in your because you work lots of overtime and therefore must be making lots of money. For me, I don't really care how much money a woman makes, as long as she is capable of taking care of herself.

Answer 3

If you really like the guy, you should be honestly to tell him your situation. You should tell him that your working time is a temp. situation. I am sure you can make spare time to have a date.

So, in next time when you meet him, try to make some small talks and bring up your work situation.

Good luck
