Dating someone with a busy schedule

So I have been dating this person since January and everything is going well, we have a deep emotional connection and we both understand/love each other's sense of humor, which I think is just as important as a deep emotional connection.<br><br>However, the person I am dating has a very busy schedule. They work in the Healthcare field and they usually work 12 hour shifts from 7am to 7pm and then they usually have to stay up to around 1am in the morning doing homework. As a result of this, they usually only have 1-2 hours a day to hangout and that's usually spent going for a walk or doing something very brief.<br><br>So, as a result of this, I don't get to spend much time with this person and I get very anxious about it because I feel like we aren't getting to spend enough time together to know each other. However, they have reassured me that they just don't have enough time because of how busy they are.<br><br>What do you do when you're in a situation like this? And how do you stay patient in a situation like this?
