*This stems from problems which I've had when I get to talking with some guy online, and he suggests the idea of meeting......any help would be appreciated*
To give some background detail, I work roughly 40 hours a week, and this is split between two part-time jobs. My work schedule, plus the fact that I have to depend on the bus for transportation, makes it a bit difficult to get out and do things......especially at night. And since I don't often get a lot of time off of both jobs, I like to spend that time doing errands and doing things with my daughter (whom I dont get to see often because she lives with my mom)
I guess where the problem comes in is that the guy always seems to assume that any time I have off work, I would be free to meet up/hang out with him. This gets especially frustrating when he suggests meeting up after work, because I often do NOT feel like doing much of anything then......especially when I've just finished a busy shift at the library. And I often have to remind the guy that I don't drive, and so it's more difficult for me to get around with the way the bus schedule runs.
So, any suggestions on how to handle/deal with this would be much appreciated......it's come to mind because I have an informal date with a guy tomorrow night (I've met him at his job before), and while he seems decent, I just dont know how to explain that meeting up/hanging out isnt always on my top priority list.
