Dating with children....

I'm curious... If you have ever been in a situation to date someone with children, how long into the relationship before you met them? Or, introduced a SO to your own children?

Personally, no one I've dated post-divorce has ever met my kid. My girlfriend gave me an interesting, sweet interrogation about that fact yesterday. So I'm merely curious

The general rule, as I understand it, is to not introduce a significant other to your child unless there has been a good amount of time courting each other and you've had "the talk" with your S.O. about where the relationship is going and you're sure they're going to be around.

You never want to introduce someone into the child's life that will leave them in a few months.

I have a 15yr old and my son has only met one person I have dated in the last 10yrs. My current relationship has met my son about 2 months into the relationship we have been dating a year. It depends on how you see that person if he is potiential partner than introduce them but if you are not sure don't bother till it gets more serious.

FTR, I'm secure in my decision not to introduce him to anyone right now... Just wondering how other's have handled that.
