last boyfriend was an a-hole, is this moving too soon with a new guy?

[pinupbeauty90]

Broke up with my long term bf in April of 2011. Started talking to a new guy on and off in may. In Dec we actually started dating. Well the last few weeks of Jan he started acting weird, then just stopped talking to me. He wouldn't answer calls, texts, Facebook messages. So I assumed we were done. Then Jan 26th I meet someone else and have been talking to him via text. We meet through friends from Facebook. Last night was the first time we actually meet up in person. I really like him and he says he likes me...I haven't dated in sooooo long. Is it weird to just start up something with someone else so soon? This new guy is totally awesome. I just don't know the dating rules. How long should I wait to bring him around my kids, once we've been established in a serious relationship?

Touchy subject to be asked about her.


My so and I have been together since April, he very rarely sees te kids even though we were friends before and he knew then before. Maybe a dozen times since April.


We do not kiss or hang on each other if they happen to be around.

Do not bring the kids around until it is serious. Nothing worse than to parade new bf around when you don't know if he will be there long term. And don't force him on them or them on him.

Sorry for the typos :-(

Ummm....you just dated someone in December.  What do you mean you haven't dated someone in so long?

I wouldn't let a Guy around my kids unless he is the one I plan to marry. Bring multiple men around your kids is wrong.

Oh I will also add he has never spent the night. It's a fine line to walk but I've seen far to many friends have a new guy around their kids every couple of months. Dating can be done smartly if you have rules for yourself and your relationship.

We dated less than a month...so I don't really count that as dating.
