I have been going on several dates as of late, and everybody's have fun on the dates themselves. However, the good times don't last. I haven't been getting many second or third dates, and the implied blame from these girls is my work schedule. I work your typical five days a week, but the nature of my profession is nights and weekends and my days off are in the middle of the week. These girls know that going in, but they only make mention of it being an issue some time after the date ends.
A couple questions. First, do people think everyone else works a Monday-Friday 9-5? The girls I've gone out with act shocked (even though they already know) when I confirm that, yes, I do work weekends, just like many other people. Did they think I was joking when I mentioned that earlier on? I've done this routine enough times that it's become quite irritating. Furthermore, do you think the girls could be using it as a scapegoat reason? Several of my coworkers who work the same hours are dating or married, so their significant others are accepting of it. Clearly wasn't an insurmountable obstacle for them.
