I agree with your last statement. But I am ready. I am an accommodating individule by nature, and love is a drug I can't say no to.

I've had high pressure jobs me entire adult life. I feel I'm finally in a mental place to make it work, where when I was younger and more foolish, I didn't understand the tradeoff and the sacrifices, small as they may be.

I will make time where there otherwise would have been none as often as I can. I think I have the tools this time to be more than a warm body.

On the other side, there are other professionals like me with similar schedules. This could be a situation of mutual respect and understanding. Who knows what that could turn into.

Gotta make the first step. Not going to find anyone new at home

I'll try to be brief. I've been single a long time. I started my own business, and as a result I am always doing something/on the clock.I work with suppliers overseas a l lot, so my sleep schedule isn't really a schedule... it's when I have time. I do what I absolutely love, so that helps, but it's KILLING any chance of exercising my libido.

I am having such a hard time meeting someone, as you can imagine, and examing my options, keeping in mind that I'm still a man with needs and wants, it's not looking too good as far as meeting someone any time soon who would be OK with my schedule.

How do you approach a woman and explain all of this without becoming your own red flag immediately?
