Ann said it for me. On top of what she said about the kids, I wouldn't use (even in a good way)them "to send her" any messages. And if dating would do things worse, you think socializing in front of the kids would improve things? I do not think a 7year old could make a clear distinction between the two situations, so what the kids report back could be something far from the truth. Would you like to risk that? Just a thought...
