Yes, it is true that there are certain periods of your life when a relationship is just not ideal. It could be because of personal reasons, or the timing. Through personal experience, I have met guys and encountered friends that would say, "I did not want to be with her because I am too busy to be with someone right now." Now my first reaction is agreeing with them because everyone has a different perspective on things, but I have always come to one conclusion. Whenever a person says this, it is because it is not the right person.
We meet many people every day of our lives. Then one day we meet someone that we find interest in, but then we come to realize I have to focus more on other things (school, career, etc.). From there, we reach a point where we would tell the person that we can not fully be with them due to the amount of time we have to commit to our goals and lives. Now that is a very reasonable thing, but if you actually met the person you truly feel something special for, would you let them go easily? In my case and in most of the people I have spoken to, they said, "No."
As much as a person might claim to like some one, but at a point when they hit a rough patch and decide to let him or her go, then they truly really do not share that sort of feeling because, subconsciously, the person is not for him or her. Being with someone and committing to someone require a lot of effort. As humans, we typically will not do all that if we feel the person is not worth it. Once we meet that person, things begin to change. We tend to break small rules just to make things work with that person, even if it means that we are busy.
For most people, we have had our shares of people we have dated, and of course, not all of them are what we would consider as the "one," so we begin to prioritize other things that we think are more important in the long run. But when the "one" enters our lives, the notion of busy does not disappear completely, but it becomes a notion of, "yes, I am busy, but I will make time for this...for you."
Not everyone is like this, and yes, there are people who actually truly mean it when they say they are too busy to fully give all their efforts into a relationship. A bond between two people requires time, and when we finally meet that person, that time commitment will not be such a big problem because time spent with them and for them seem to worth it all.
So if someone has or will one day say the, "I am too busy for a relationship to you," do not worry about it. Maybe it is not meant to be. There is someone who you will meet that will not be busy for you one day.
