I work 3rd shift, so my schedule is different from that of most of the world...not just to meet women, but when I do meet someone interesting, our schedules can make it so hard to find time to date. Has anyone in my situation found online introductions easier to find? If I try online dating, should I mention that I work third shift in my profile introduction, or let that information wait?

Here I am, spending another New Years Eve alone. I'm rather tired of it, and very lonely.

Hi & welcome! I work 3rd shift as well & I dont find it screws things up too badly with dating. Then again, I do 12 hr overnites, so that leaves 3-4 nites a week off.

Greg, I wouldn't worry about it. The right woman will work around your schedule. Look for gals who say they are independent in their profiles. I've just met a guy with a wild work schedule, but I don't care. He says it's caused him issues in the past, but I've told him that's because he needs to meet a woman who can entertain herself when he's not around. Try to avoid gals that give you a guilt trip if you can't spend time with them.

Sorry about the end of your second marriage. I have friends who went through that too and are now happily married again. Third time is a charm!
