do i c someone else?

i really like this guy.  From what i can c so far he is special.  problem is he's always working b/c he is not financially stable.  he seems to be trying desperately to change that.  also he has a young child and is a completely single parent. the mom is locked up.  so i am blessed to have an ex who loves his kids and takes them whenever he is not working; therefore i get a break at least once a wk.  i was hoping that this special man would sometimes be my company when the kids r with their dad.  but this special man often can't.  since he doesnt really get a break and hes always working.  so we talk on the phone which i enjoy and wouldnt want to stop but i wonder if i shd date someone else that's maybe more available? i dont think hed like that and truth is i dont want him dating someone else either but i wonder if this is a time i shd b selfish? idk.  the plus of not being around each other so much is its more heart and less body.  i know ive havent bn talking to him long but i dont c this changing so its like shd i react now?
happy new year
