Please, help me to fill in my profile on a language exchange site
This is what I want to say:
----I'm sorry I often can't respond to messages immediately, as my job takes most of my day. I usually come here on weekday evenings.
I'm not looking for dating and romance here. I have a beloved boyfriend, he uses this web-site, too.
I would prefer communicating in physical space, but the Internet is my only opportunity to talk to native English speakers. If I want to practice English with non-natives, I go to a local speaking-club meeting, or talk to my classmates ( I take English classes at a language school two times a week).----
Please guys correct my mistakes and tell me whether it sounds polite and easy to understand, or not.

Excellent work! The blue corrections are optional.
*"I'm often not able to" sounds a little more apologetic.

Unfortunately, you will be bothered by some people who have no respect for others. Just ignore them. Good luck.
Here is a short, direct version:
I am looking for conversation (not romance). I am an interesting person - I like ... (make a list - books, films, travel, animals, museums, photography ...)
I am looking for conversation with native speakers only. I get enough practice with non-native speakers in other parts of my life.
I have a job and other commitments. I will usually respond to requests within 24 hours.
