Okay, so i know you are probably wondering how old is my baby and how long have i been with my boyfriend....No one told me that these types of intros are weird at first, especially if it's a son. My son is 5, i have dated my boyfriend for 8 months now and he is responsible, caring and loving. He's always wanted to meet my son but i had to be sure he's actually someone i see myself with in future before making these introductions. Don't get me wrong, i trust him. So i set up a play date at the playground the other day for the three of us to spend time together. It was beautiful but at first, there was a bit of tension. My son was quiet for a bit. But i understand it's the first meeting, there's always tension.
I would like to get advice from you if you read this..how do you think these introductions should go and when's it best to introduce your child to your boyfriend or girlfriend?

Always be truthful in starting of relationships.
That will solve majority of problems.

I was about 3 when my Mum started dating my step-dad. They met via a dating agency. She told him in her letters that she had a "little monkey" meaning me! I think she took me on a couple of their dates!

i am glad you took time with introducing your son to your boyfriend and even more, that your boyfriend expressed desire to meet you son. i think the timing is right and it needs some time for your son to adjust to the new person in his mum' life but, i feel this is the great start. keep it up

Children take their time to adjust around new people. Once he finds your boyfriend a fun to play with he will start loving his company. Am sure you are being careful which is a good sign of maturity. You are responsible at the end of the day for decisions that do impact both you and the child. From what I read, looks like he is a fair guy.
