Most important is to decide what you want from a relationship. (get your mind out of the gutter
) Be realistic about what kind of time you have for someone. I am lucky because the person I am with I have been best friends with for 12 years and together with for 2 years. Our relationship works well because we have enough time apart. We get usually one or two days a week together. We talk throughout the week. Her schedule is a Sun through Wed. I work sat/sun and sleep all day Monday. It feels like whenever we do get together it still feels like we are dating when we go out. I love it. If you are meant for someone you can probably work it out. Just be very honest with your partner and especially yourself.
