Dating help?

I've recently decided to enter the dating world after 20 months, and the first time since having a baby. So I need some advice, pointers, and answers.

When is a good time for him to meet my daughter?
What qualities should I avoid in a guy in regards to him being a prospective father in the very distant future?
How many dates should we go on before we sleep together?
What're good topics to talk about on dates and such?

Someone teach me how to do this, again. I'm so nervous.

God this sounds lame.

OH P.S. I'm really nervous about bringing guys around my daughter. The only one she's around a lot is my Father, and you always hear horror stories about the Mom's boyfriend doing something to her kids. That's why I'm so nervous.

hmmmm well lets see......
When is a good time for him to meet my daughter? i dont think until you are offically dating, which should really be by like the 5th date, right?
What qualities should I avoid in a guy in regards to him being a prospective father in the very distant future? he must want to do things with you AND your lo. he must understand when you cannot go out to that fancy resturaunt cause the baby is sick & you wanna stay home. he must ask about your lo, in a none creepy way, seem interested. he must treat his mother good, or not talk badly about her.
How many dates should we go on before we sleep together? hmmm, 4.
What're good topics to talk about on dates and such? him. make it sortve an interview....not too much tho. if the vibe is right, towards the middle of the convo tell him you have a child.

eghh that's an interesting topic. I still feel like I'm not ready to enter the dating world. Every guy who asks me or tells me he likes me I won't even hang out with them. How did you reach the point of even in your mindto considerdaing?
I wouldn't be comfortable with a guy meeting my son unless I loved him or cared about him in some way.
What to talk about???
Ha.......anything. Talk about him and yourself, so you can get to know eachother more.

I finally realized how insanely lonely I was. I love spending every day with my daughter, and only my daughter, but I need a companion. I feel completely alone, even with all the friends and family I have. When I realized I was ready to call my crazy ex, I realized I NEEDED to gtf off my ass and get back into the dating world haha.

when I met Dh's kids, it was a huge thing I was the first person he ever introduced to them. I met them at a park before halloween so that it was neutral ground not their space and so they could play and warm up to me. We didn't shove meeting them down their throats or anything.

When is a good time for him to meet my daughter? when YOU are ready, thats the main thing
What qualities should I avoid in a guy in regards to him being a prospective father in the very distant future? I wouldn't put to much pressure on this, if you have a laundry list of preconcieved ideas on good and bad you might miss your perfect guy
How many dates should we go on before we sleep together? as many as you're comfortable with
What're good topics to talk about on dates and such? your life, be honest about your lo, your hopes dream

COOL! T is going to be 10 months, so she'll be around the same age. Did the youngest take well to you? How is she with you, now? Does she have a Step-Daddy?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm totally freaking out lol.

yeah the youngest loved me took right to me, they all did actually. Abby (the baby) took a bottle from me, let me change her at nighteverything just perfect. It was like nothing to her. Their mom remarried so they have a stepdad and a stepmom its normal to them.
