No.....no reason to meet or introduce you to his son until a relationship has been established and is going somewhere, especially if it's a younger child.

Thanks for the comments ladies...no his son is a young teen, and he and I were headed no where..his son is diagnosed with several mild medical conditions... maybe he wanted to see how I interacted with his son. I do have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed the Son's company more than the date...he was a sweet boy! conversing

Yep I agree V...I had agreed to go out with him before he sprang it on me that he'd be bringing his son. I almost spoke up and declined, but felt bad so I followed through with it.

thumbs up

A 1st date to me, is more of an introduction. Even if I had previous correspondence with the person I'm meeting for the 1st time face-to-face. Should things need to progress over a period of time, for me to consider introducing my children.

It's a little confusing for family members to get introduced on a 1st date unless you're going to their house. Then introductions and pleastries are in order.

GL!

I suppose if I were going on some form of "date" somewhere it would be easier to leave the kids out of it if you have baby sitters handy. If you are meeting someone as a friend having the kids there should not be a problem. I haven't been out with anyone in a few years and then I did manage to find someone to watch my granddaughter for a few hours for a "date." I prefer to meet anyone as a friend and allow my granddaughter to meet them as well in that capacity. For me it is important to be friends first and see where that may lead. A couple of guys I had been friends with have come to my home and spent time with my granddaughter and myself. Since we did not match up as anything more than friends, we are still friends and it didn't have any negative effect on her either. You have to think way outside the box. wink
