When is the right time for 'the meet'?

[KnickersOnOnesHead]

I've never had a relationship since splitting with exp so I have no idea what the 'done' thing is. Is there an unspoken amount of time you have to wait to introduce DP to the DC's?
I know some people say ''when it feels right''. But how do you know if it's too soon?

Wait 4-6 months, by that time the butterflies and pink clouds would have cleared a bit and you would have a better idea if the relationship you have is going to be a long term one.

And then introduce new man to them as a "friend", that way you have a chance to see if new man and DC are compatible with each other too, before letting the news out when they are comfortable and happy with each others' presence.

There is no right time, you have to figure that out with your new DP. If they have kids too, it may influence things as well as how often you get to meet. Some people prefer meeting sooner because they don't want a relationship to build up and then find out the DCs don't click with the DP at all.
