So I'm not talking about flaky women who just say they're busy. I'm talking about investment bankers, doctors etc who work unpredictable 80-100 hour weeks.

Realistically you have to make sure the little time you get is quality but it's hard to make real progress when you only see someone once a week and it might be for brunch (or some other non-conventional time) AND they're usually exhausted.

Text game to me is out. It's a horrible way to get to know someone and should only be used to make plans. The downside, I think one can come across as pretty desperate when you ask someone "so what are your hours like today" repeatedly. Maybe some flirty texts are a good middle ground?

So... advice? I think the nature of seduction is down to having quality face to face time but this situation takes out that main tool.
