I'm surprised you'd think being busy moving would preclude starting a relationship. To me it would seem a great time for dating- having a busy non-dating life is helpful because you don't have the time to emotionally over-invest in every date or to chase unavailable women.
Of course if it is a cross-country move, then better to look for women near your new home, not ones that will quickly become long-distance... but moving to a new city is also a great excuse for approaching new people, and for arranging meetups from online dating sites.
Also many women enjoy participating in the "setting up a new house" tasks, so you might make a date out of your necessary errands. How we each furnish our homes says a lot about our lifestyle and values, so I think shopping/decorating together can be a great way to get to know someone and assess compatibility (and if you feel a date is overbearing, pushing you into something you don't like, well then there's your answer!).
Anyway, I just think guys too often decide to postpone dating until they have nothing else going on in their life when actually a busy life can enhance dating success.
