The kids don't even know that I'm dating. My daughter is a little snoop in ways and while bringing me my cell phone said, "You sure talk to John Doe a lot." And yesterday morning she was on the phone with her dad and called out to me, "Hey Mom, John Doe is calling on the other line!" so she knows this person is a friend of mine. But that's it.
The kids have said that they wish we were still together, but somehow they just know that we won't ever be together again. I think my son may have asked once a few months after STBX moved out. That's it.
I'd really like them to meet. This weekend was my D7's soccer tourney and her Dad chose to go off to Vegas. BF was the one on the phone asking how they were doing, getting excited when my D7 scored a goal and said that he really wished he could be there. He likes kids, loved this same time in his kids' lives and isn't put off at all by the fact that I have young kids while his are in college. (Disclamer: we have only 7 years difference in age. Nothing weird going on here.)
But I know it's too early. When the time is right, I'll know yet what I don't know is HOW to have them meet.
