What are some signs that you need to take a break from dating?

I'm so apathetic about dating; can someone with some experience help me out? I'm not opposed to being with someone, but I honestly feel like I don't have the time.

I work 10 hour days, and when I get home, I just want to devote time to my dog. I also want to start going to the gym and that's gonna take another chunk of time out of my day.

I really enjoy alone time to relax; definitely a homebody, but I find myself with less and less of it. So, giving more of my scarce free time to a relationship seems like a hassle.

I ended an emotionally exhausting 3 year relationship last year and although there were nice things about it, I really don't need the drama relationships bring.

Just be alone then right? Here's the thing, I don't feel lonely, but I know I don't want to be alone forever.

Tldr; How do I begin dating again when I have very little free time and women aren't into the things I'm into?
