[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Thanks PPs.  I appreciate your advice,  stories, and perspectives. I will be careful who I introduce him too (in fact,  that's part of our parenting plan we worked out when divorcing). [/quote]

7:32 PP here. That's really the main thing, with dating. I will say that it's also not the easiest task in the world to find someone who accommodates your schedule related to your child. There are people who say that they understand, but then they are upset if you are unable to do X or Y because of the kid of unwilling to introduce them to the kid so you can do things together. Dating people who have children themselves can be helpful there, since they at least understand what you're going through, but obviously that can lead to even more schedule complications.

My DH, for example, was not particularly patient about my "no overnights when DD is here for at least 6 months, maybe more like 12" rule. He thought that it was arbitrary. I relaxed the rule when we'd been together around 8 months, when DD asked why he always left at bedtime.[/quote]
