Dating and the Single Parent
You should not introduce your date to your children one on one until you are very serious about your relationship.

It is very wise not to introduce your children to your date unless it is in a group or activity setting; and you should not introduce your date to your children one on one until you are very serious about your relationship. Don't forget, your children have already suffered one loss, it is wise not to set them up for another if you introduce your dates too soon or too often. You are a role model for your children and you don't want them to see your love life as a revolving door.

If you've ever flirted or had a very personal conversation with someone in front of your child, I'm sure you saw some territorial flags go up in them and perhaps some reactions of jealously occurred. Children don't want to feel like they are losing you to someone else, they are very protective of their parents and their parent's affections.
