The Guy She’s Been Seeing Said He’s Busy For The Next Two Months And Might Not Have Time To See Her, Which Is A Letdown
For the last couple of weeks, this 26-year-old girl has been seeing a guy, and she believes things between them are progressing well.
They have been on two official dates, and each one was wonderful. They have chemistry, and they communicate effortlessly.
In between their dates, they have been texting one another daily, but it’s normally just one or two messages and not an all-day marathon conversation.
This upcoming weekend, she’s going to be out of town, so she asked if he would like to make some time to do a video call.
He agreed before stating that the next two months are going to be insanely busy for him. He won’t have weekends off from work for six whole weeks.
“He said he’ll be able to squeeze things in but apologized in advance that it may be difficult,” she explained.
“He works in a very busy hospital, and I completely believe and understand his situation. I also work in healthcare and know things can be hectic, given his role.”
“I do think that he would tell me if he’s not interested, and I don’t think he’s the kind of guy to use work as an excuse to…fizzle out.”
He normally works 60 hours each week at his job, not including the weekend hours he picks up. He also sometimes has to work several back-to-back overnight shifts, so there really isn’t a ton of room in his schedule on a good week.

It’s not like he kept it a secret from her that he has an insane schedule at work; this is something he pointed out to her from the moment they met.
She’s not exactly blindsided that he’s going to be so busy for two whole months, but she is confused and a bit disappointed. It is a letdown to have things go so well and then not be able to see the person you like for a while.
“That being said, I’m not sure what to say/where to leave things,” she said. “I’m looking for advice on how to respond.”
“I was wanting to convey that it’s no worries, and I understand work comes first, but given his crazy schedule these next few months, I’ll leave it up to him to let me know when he’s free to hang out again.”
What advice do you have for her?
