[quote=Anonymous]Op I'm concerned that you seem to be focused on the wong things. 
Your focused on your sons behavior and your feelings but not your son's feelings and your boyfriend's actions 
What did he do.?
Was your boyfriend antagonistic? Did he try to force himself on your son not give him any space?

How did he react to your sons behavior? Was he rude back? Did he get mad at you or your son?

Does your son have a relationship with his dad? Are you divorced? did dad die? All of this matters in how your son perceived this man.
I think first meetings should be short and not something you spring on them. Did he even know that you are dating,?

So since you felt it was serious you should have told him about your boyfriend first let him ask questions and express his feelings.
Then you set up a meeting something simple and quick like getting ice cream.. 
You can set general behavior expectations as you would for any outing. But your kid should know it's okay to not like this person and that they can tell you how they feel because they your child is the most important.
Also it's okay if your kid isn't perfect your boyfriend needs to see how kids really are.

Also don't force interaction like having your boyfriend do things that your son normally gets from you or wants you to do 
And don't do PDA in front of your son either especially on the first meeting.

You should apologize to your son for springing this on him and then talk about what happened see what he's thinking and feeling.
Absolutely no punishment.

Get some books on dating as a single parent and how to blend families and a family therapist.

And if your boyfriend is giving you a problem about this drop him
