Plate spinning or more stuff going on

[WTID]

Ok my problem, I'm recently divorced and my plates are few and far between lol, anyway is the same concept as in having a busy life and not getting to involved the same as plate spinning until more plates come along.
I'm on dating websites and they do come through but rather slowly, sometimes due to time, me not available and money.

I'm not sure if you were asking a question or just a short vent?

Sounded like ...
You're frustrated because you're recently divorced, watching your cash flow right now, not having much luck online and you're too busy to try harder.

Perhaps given all these challenges, if you want to meet women but not have to shell out too much, you would consider interest groups?

Such as ... hiking clubs, photographic clubs, theater clubs ... whatever club piques your interest or maybe dance classes.

For example, I joined a hiking club a couple years ago, mostly to help out a friend that was ill and needed exercise. I was shocked at the number of hungry single women that were going to these things. It was such a relaxed atmosphere. I was offered two phone numbers from "doable" women. All it cost me was a bottle of water.

Thanks that's a good idea , I will look at local groups, things have started looking up already. I just needed to take more action

You can also do what I'm doing now and it's cost me nothing.

I've recently put myself out there (ever since I moved to a new location) to do a lot of volunteer work whenever I have the chance. It's been an excellent starting point not only to meet women, but for networking as well. AND you are helping a good cause to boot. I get more satisfaction from that than anything else.

The other thing I did was find a website dedicated to people meeting up depending on their area and just getting to know each other in a group setting. It's helped build confidence and I have met some real decent people through it as well as I've gotten to know the area a little better.

There ARE other options out there. I'd rather use online dating as a complement to everything else.

I'm doing a bag pack for charity tomorrow to raise money for a 2 year old girl that is suffering with cancer, the last time was very busy for 2 hours but when I finish tomorrow ,I may go and shake a collection tin for an hour or 2 which will be a bit of a slower pace .95% of the volunteers are women although this is not the reason I volunteered I just wanted to help out.

ok got a couple of potential plates to spin, not sure how to play this I can prob have a date of Friday this week and then on Saturday too, but if one starts pushing about what I'm doing on any other night do I just open up and tell them I'm seeing another woman or just keep it vague and state I'm busy

"I have plans."

That's all she needs to know.
