i'm 22 and have a 7 month old daughter. i would like to start dating again but im kinda scared to bring a guy in my daughters life. my question is did any of you wait awhile to introduce the guy that you were going on a date with or did you introduce them right away to your child?

mindy honestly i think it depends.. when i met the man i am with now we did our first date with both of our children went to discovery place.. it was great we took that to get to introduce our kids to each other and one another. but we took 3 months for ourselvesafter that i wanted him to understand i dont need another father for my son he has one i want someone to love me for me.. nor do you want your daughters father to be mad about another man or your man thinking your still interested in her dad. every relationship is different follow your hear but kee in mind we are only a 4th through our life think, will i be with him forever.. you dont want your daughter to see men in and out bc she will be doing the same thing at 17 and then you will have trouble on your hands.. shes so young spend ALL the time you can alone now bc she will be big so fast.. good luck go out with yor girls have a good time with single life

Def wait. Let the guy know you have a child and its ok to talk bout your child but the actual meeting of the child should wait. I had the same delema im only 20 with a 2year old and dating again is hard. Some guys veiw it as having to much baggage or they dont wana deal with the babay daddy drama. But once you find a guy that understand youll know when the times right to introduce the two.
Best of luck!

WAIT!!!!! From my own experience i say wait!! I screwed up and had men in and out of my children's lives. It is not very difficult to allow your child to become attached to someone and not be sure that this will be a long term relationship. My advice is this date him for at least 6 months and then if all is still well and there are no major issues between the two of you at that time introduce them. But take things slow!Good luck hun!
