To introduce my DC to my boyfriend?

I’ve been with my boyfriend since September 2024, I’m a lone parent as my DCs dad doesn’t want any involvement so it’s been hard trying to make time to date but we’ve made it work.

I have never introduced a man to my DC so this is all completely new to me and wondered if meeting my DC in July is too soon?

and also any tips on how to actually do this to ensure I don’t cause any upset to my DC?

any help greatly appreciated!

I think that’s long enough, others will not.

When I introduced my DD to my partner we would just bump into each other at first (actually happened naturally the first time!) we had a few short meets, park, dog walking, etc. she took to him straight away and kept asking if he’s my boyfriend.

Really depends on the age of DC though I think!
