Have known a guy for a few weeks getting on well but no need to mention children (two) before now.

However now it's getting to the point it's difficult to not tell him

If it scares him off that's fine there's nothing I can do about that! But should I tell him now? He seems quite keen so I want to be honest. But at the same time there's no need for me to tell him really? I don't know where this is going yet so it's just nice to have some company-surely he doesn't need to know about the kids if we're just spending time together!

I'm seeing him tomorrow should I tell him? I guess if I do tell him and it scares him off I will be a little upset as its been nice spending some time with somebody

As soon as you know a man's interested in you, you should tell him. I met my partner 4 years ago through mutual friends and we were instantly attracted to each other. As soon as I knew he liked me in that way, I dropped it into conversation, if this guy really likes you then he'll understand about the kids, after all they're a part of you.

I guess that was some of the problem and that-I couldn't tell if he really liked me as we hadnt spent much time together. All ok now though

Glad it's worked out for you and your partner :)
