I have just started to see someone, I have known him for years and he has been a good friend for a long time, though we have drifted apart occassionally. Apart from a fling as young teens our relationship has been mostly plutonic until now.
We have been on a couple of dates, last week we ended up fooling around and have both come to the conclusion that we have strong feelings for each other and although we are not "official" we both want this to last. He is lovely and I trust him implicitly.
This is the first relationship I have entered into since DS (6) was a baby. He has met DS a few times but only when he was tiny and we were hust friends. Obviously involving him at all this time around will have different connotations. I have no doubt that they will get on well, and it is very early days yet but I just wondered how other single parents have handled bringing someone new into their child's lives. I want to be prepared and do things right, my son takes priority which goes without saying but I want things to work out with this relationship and to try and be happy all round. DS' dad is not involved at all, if that's relevant.
