As a single mom.... the things I think about most...
1)If things start getting serious how this guy is going to get along with my children, especially if he doesn't have any of his own.
2)Is he going to understand, from the door, I am a package deal? Sorry man, you got to be willing to take the meat and the veggies too!
3)Is he going to be able to deal with Dad coming around. It happens they are his children too!
4)In the future is he going to want one of "his own" and do I really want another one?
If that's all good. The rest will kinda works out on it's own!

I fear a couple of things. I fear that I will be single for the rest of my life because I have an already made family (even though I was married). I fear that if I do find someone that I could care for and we date, lets say for a year and then things don't work out then my kids could get hurt. Although I have been lucky that I haven't really found someone to date that long. If you call that lucky lol. But my worse fear is them getting attached to him and then things not working out. But then again I'm very careful of who I bring around my kids so if he did meet them it would have to be someone special enough that I can see myself in a really long term relationship with.

Dating is a rough road for single Moms. I've been there. I was careful to keep my dates away from my home and children. Most men have no interest in other people's kids, sometimes not even their own. I think the greatest risk is emotional risk to the children. This is not to say, 'Mom, don't have a life,' but do it with thought and common sense. You have people you're responsible for.

When to find the time to see him; how to do the sleepovers and not have my son find out.. and eventually introducing him to my son and hope he (the man) treats him with respect for that is the deal breaker.
Also - if it iall works out and we move in together, the changes that occur with that (after being alone for so many years) will be scary.. lots to get used to.

I do not let anyone I date meet my kids because I don't want them to get attached to anyone if things may go bad while I am dating a guy.

Having someone new around my son. And just putting myself out there and getting hurt again.
