I (F38) have been seeing someone for five months and was hoping to introduce my child, who is 10, to him (46).
He was open to the idea a few weeks ago, but when I mentioned it today he said “I don’t know if I am ready. We can try. I will have to meet her sooner or later.”
This has left me feeling foolish, anxious and confused. For background, he has no children and never been married.
I am an all or nothing woman and I can be quite defensive. Is this just his nerves talking or should I move on?

I once dated a woman who had one child. I have never been married, and I have no kids.
She introduced me to him the second day I we dated. I think it’s her way of not messing around, but I wish more than anything she would have taken her time.
The thing is women with kids have high demands and it kills the dating game for me. It makes sense, but why can’t people just slow down?
I dated her for two years and then I left her. The biggest feeling the whole time was that we moved to fast and she didnt care.
Make with that story whatever yiu want. In the end, you’re gonna be mad when things aren’t what yiu want them to be, but why can’t things be slower.
Nerves. I’m similar to him as having no children and never married. Recently I met someone’s THREE children out of necessity as I had to help her with something while she had the children.
Little nervous, but the mother and I aren’t really an official item so it wasn’t like “hey here’s my boyfriend”
Way too soon. Once you’ve been together for at least a year, then you can discuss slowly introducing them.
