[quote=Anonymous][quote=RHinVA]Okay, this may be totally naive, but why can't you meet at a park with your kids on the weekends?  If it's just coffee, getting to know you, I do that chit-chat with strangers all the time at playgrounds, lessons, etc.  The kids don't have to know it's a date, right?  You could just pretend to randomly meet this guy at the park.  If he's weird, then he doesn't know where you live or anything, right?[/quote]

doing a chit-chat with strangers at the park is different,  the problem with trying to 'sneak' in a date is that kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for being.  while they may not know it's a date they do know something is going on.  that's not something I would want to expose my daughter to especially at her age.  I'll introduce her to a woman when we more than just serious as I want my DD to know, see and really understand what a loving, respectful and mature relationship actually is - not for her to see her dad flirting (which I do somewhat shamelessly when I'm alone) or prancing around with different flavors of the month.

maybe it's just me but the only thing I'd do in front of my DD is carry on a friendly conversation - if I'm interested in the woman, I have no problem asking her for her number so that we can have a proper first date (even if it's just a more typical meet-and-greet) as two adults w/o the kids.  It's worked so far as I haven't been turned down and have gotten more numbers than I cared to receive.[/quote]
