So nervous about this introduction.

Today I am introducing my DD to the man I've been seeing and I'm nervous as hell.

Ideally it would have been out of the house the first time but I'm having to wait in for an important delivery so the "introduction" will take place at home. Maybe it's a good thing since she'll be most likely to pay about as much attention as she does with my friends and then disappear off to play.

This is the first person I've introduced DD to since I split with her Dad and to me it feels like a significant hurdle and quite frankly I'm shitting myself. Anyone else felt like this?

No, sorry. DS meets all my friends, male and female. Some we see more than others, that's all.

DD knows all my friends but it was important to me to keep her separate from any relationships until I was sure about them.

This just seems different to her meeting just a friend.

How old is she?

Only in your head, I suspect. How were you planning to style him? 'Boyfriend'? 'Special friend?' How old is your DD?

Yes it is in my head Grin Like I said she probably won't care one way or another. I wasn't really planning on any label just "this is X"

She is 3. I split from my ExH a couple of weeks after she was born.

fairy just relax... It feels huge to introduce kids to a boyfriend but they won't see it that way.

relax and don't make a big deal if it and like you said she probably won't bat an eyelid

Good age, I'd say, hopefully she'll give him a glance and get on with more important stuff Smile.
