I have been divorced almost two years. It took me a while to start dating, but eventually I got tired of staying at home when my kids went to their dads. I have "dated" several men, but have only been in one relationship. It lasted several months, but even then, I did not introduce him to my children. I believe when you meet a man that you are comfortable enough with that you can do things in a family type situation you will know. He will want to meet your kids and participate in their activities. Good luck trying to find someone like that... I am still looking!

I am a single mom but i'mnew to this game so i'm not really sure when it's okay but i do know that you should get to know the person a little before you bring them around your child/children and don't bring a string of men through cause they will be confused.

I am a single mom of two daughters. Living alone for five yrs. I started dating a few months after the divorce but only when my kids are with there dad.I take my time and they only meet the person I am dating if I feel there is a future in the relationship. Otherwise it just makes things to complicated. It also depends on your kids and there level of comfort with you and there father and the divorce. There is no pad answer it really is about choices and following your gut. Good Luck

I'm a single mother and I have no problem introducing my child to anyone...stranger or potential mate. If it doesn't work, we both move on. You just have to think about what kind of behavior is appropriate when you are around certain men. Think about it; we meet new people everyday, when you're with your kids or not, some of these people turn into long term friendships (maybe more) and some don't. Oh...BTW it's okay to date whenever you feel ready about it.

well I have been a single parent for about 3 1/2 years and I think that if you go out with some one then see the way that that person is then I thkn that is ok that your child gets to know that person,,, is realy important that this person meets your child because in the future you get together then your child does not see this person like an intruder,,,, is realy important that this person becomes your childs friend not a dad or mom but a friend some one that your child trust and likes,,,

I've been single for almost a year now. I have two boys four and two. It can be hard sometimes since their father only wants to see them one day a week. But I would much rather be a single parent than be in a realtionship where i'm unhappy.

I would date someone for 3 mos. by yourself, do not let your children come. After 3 mos. then have a family dinner at your house so the kids have a safe zone. If, you feel that they can get along then start doing things as a "family".
