Welcome.

Well, there are all sorts of opinions on this matter. And I hope everyone chimes in because I always love reading all of them.

I think that it is okay for them to meet very casually after you are exclusive. BUT I think you should wait until you really know it is going to work before you allow them to interact and hang out on a consistent basis - because children who are younger tend to bond easily - and if the relationship goes south this is very upsetting to the kid.

I do think it is important that kids are able to be kids and do not have the worries that we do. Your dating door has been rather quiet with only 2 in 5 years so you do have some leeway.

I do think that if you tell your story you can get better answers - there are so many situations here and everyone is very helpful and has good ideas - but whatever makes you happy is okay too. Keep us posted! We always love stories - and we hope you stay and participate here as well!! :-)

Well I would say don't rush it - enjoy the "me" time with him. What you write is very nice - and I think it just needs more time.

And with a girl I guess there is an additional worry - you sound like you do have your priorities in order.

Keep us posted! And don't worry - the others will chime in soon.
