Ok - it all sounds WONDERFUL (I am SO jealous of all your co-parenting relationships), BUT, you have what seems like a great, possibly long term relationship at some point
My kids and Duck Fan have not met yet but I did tell them Mommie was dating him and he was a very nice man but I wanted to make sure he and I were serious and he'd be around before they met him and they were okay with that. Your kids are perceptive so maybe you should have the same talk.
I find that labelling activities, especially with relationships can create misunderstandings and miscommunication.
Labels such as "dating," "love," or even "boy/girl friend" mean different things to different people.
As a policy, I am honest and upfront with my children (and with everyone else).

Welcome welcome!!!!
Ok, I see labeling as a good thing.
Welcome to the board.

Thank you all for the great advice!
