How long would you all see a person before introducing them to your kids? I am just wanting to see what everyone thinks.

Probably depends on the guy....whether hes good with kids or not....as a guy, I like to wait at least a month or so....just to see if me and the girl have a chance....then meet kids, albeit slowly....meet for a meal somewhere, maybe a movie.

I agree with Walks on that, get to know each other first, see where its going to go first before you bring the kids into it

I've only introduced my kids to one person I was dating and only my son met him. I don't regret it, it was a clear sign that day that he and I wasn't a good couple. I've arranged for my kids to meet another, but plans fell thru. I think u should be together for a while before bringing kids in the mix, but it also would depend on their ages. Younger kids I would be very careful with.

I'm not so sure. But it definitely depends on the guy. Regardless I'd wait as long as I could because I've introduced my son to a couple of bfs in the past after a month/couple of months and those relationships never worked out. So I'd rather now spend a good amount of time getting to know someone first.

that's a good point there because you don't want to go changing man and you child can't keep up

I wouldn't want my son to get attached and then have his feelings hurt.
So kids definitely come first.
