Make sure that he is worthy of you and then introduce him to your children. Maybe a couple of months to see what his true intentions are.

It is good you want to know and are thinking of your kids. When you are fairly confident that your relationship is going to a more serious level, then you can casually introduce your children. One of the biggest mistakes parents make with kids and dating is they get a child attached to someone they are dating then they break up and the child feels abandoned and doesn't understand why. It is our job as parents to keep children from feeling any undo stress. Maybe start by introducing him as your friend, no over night visits, do kid related things and let the children warm up to him. But do not push a relationship, they will resent you. Put their needs first always, then they will not feel shafted by losing some of your time. You are very good to think of them, more parents need to put their kids first and social life second!

I agree with the first answer. Pray about it.
If you do not believe in God, then wait at least 6 to 8 months. And then move slow!
If your children are 16 or older, the time frame matters less. If they are less than 10 then it matters more.

I've heard 6 months is a good time. I mean the kids have gone through so much already with dad out of the picture, and they don't understand the concepts of life, they do know rejection, and if they get attatched to a man that you find out isn't the one for you, then your kids will be rejected and that is devistating, so do all you can to avoid that, don't rush it.

if he is ready then talk to your kids about it if they are old enough. if there small you dont want them being around strange men right? and how long have you been together? i wouldnt want your children to have a different guy in the picture every month.
make shur your children are ready introcude him as a friend at first. then tell them you love him.
is he ready?

Once you get to know him and trust him enough to be around your children.

as long as God is in the picture, the right time will come naturally.
