My girls are 15 & 18, each have birthdays in the next couple of months.
They kinda know the woman that I am dating because they saw her at church when we attended as a family.
My friend wants to wait until they are on their own, out of their mothers house.
I am in now hurry about it at all.

Years ago I dated a woman for awhile who had small kids, like five and three. It was hard for me after it was over. I liked them.
aww- I guess I didn't see it from the guys side. WOW- good point.flowerforyou

i'm just venturing back into the dating world after taking a long break and my kids WANT me to date. The check out the guys on the dating site, think they have to tell me who to be interested in and so forth. yeesh, maybe I should let them take over for me? lol. They are 14, almost 13 and almost 11. I have made it very clear that this will take time, if it happens at all, and so forth. They understand that and seem to be ok with it.


I agree not to intro kids to the person you are dating with but waiting until engaged? I could never even get engaged if the man and kids don't like each other and get along. Also, look at that from the kids point of view. I would have been horrified if I had a single parent suddenly out of the blue inform me they are getting married and I didn't even know about him.

Guess it's all a matter of balance.
