J9 - My situation is very very different in that my kids are adults. I was wondering if it's perhaps becoming time to let your girls know that you are going on dates while setting their expectations that Dad - who loves them very much - is also looking at forming a new relationship.

At their age they should know what dating is. That way when you reach a point with a possible new partner where they could be introduced there is no real surprise as it is just an extension of what they already know. Perhaps those with younger kids could opine. You undoubtedly want to avoid suddenly showing up with a new step-mother with three ugly daughters and yours having to do all the cleaning with the help of random woodland creatures.
