when you decide you want to be in a "long term" committed relationship.

And if the two of you recently decided to become a couple, should you wait a few months into the relationship?

I do, but at the same time I don't, see why people make such a big deal out of this.
If you introduce the man as your friend (& only act like 'friends' in front of the child). What's the big deal? It'd be the same thing as if you were introducing your child to a girlfriend of yours, somebody you met at work..
I can see the advantages of introducing them almost right away, or at least not holding off for such a long time.

It also depends on how well you know this person. Say you were good friend's before you decided to enter a relationship, at that point I would have no problem introducing them to my kids (if I hadn't already). Lol.

How would you know that without knowing how the person interacts with your children?

Depends on what you and he are comfortable with.

If he is someone you want to be with long term, you allow him to meet the kids... then your opinion can change or stay the same.

Just because you decide to be exclusive or committed doesn't mean you are engaged.

My new boyfriend and I both have children. We are both kind of new to this dating thing, so I'm trying to get other people's input.

For me its wwhen so and I decided to be commited and I saw our relationship going somewhere. I always said 6 months, but he met ds 4months into our relationship because I knew we were happy but I wanted to make sure thwy were comfortable with eachother as well.

How long have you known him? Not how long you've been a couple, but how long you've actually known him & been in contact with him for..

I only waited a month for SO to meet Novali...

A month.
That's why I am thinking about waiting a month or two more.

Ahh yes. Personally. I wouldn't become boyfriend/girlfriend with somebody I've only met a month ago, but I definitely don't think it's a good idea to introduce him to your child yet. You hardly know him. I'd wait a few more months, yeah. Hopefully it goes well!
