Should I go on a playdate with Single Dad?

Sorry to be facetious (must be the New Year influence) but my first thought was, "It depends what games the pair of you will be playing."

This really is something only you can answer unless you just want general advice which I m sure you already know
Go somewhere public not off the beaten path
Let friends or family know where you’re going
Make it very vague to the kids ( if they are involved) as you don’t want them making lifelong friends and then you decide you don’t like him so they lose their friends
Keep it to a short meeting for the first few time maybe an hour or two testing the water
See how he behaves with his kids if you do a kids date (although he may be on best behaviour)
Ask yourself why you didn’t end up with him twenty years ago
All normal common sense that you would have applied before you met the kids dad

Only you can tell how you feel about him yet it might be very useful to see how he is with the children and theybwith him. It can say a lot about a person’s true character.
If you have any doubts after that, trust your instincts.

A very well thought out approach to let the children get to know each other. This way, after a few play dates, the children will accept that you both meet up without them now and again.

Just take it slowly and follow your instinct as to where the friendship will lead. Good luck

Read the book "Thursdays in the Park" and subtract a few decades from the ages of the main players

I don't see what the problem is "boy meets girl" comes in many shapes and forms and if children are part of the equation, well, that's just part of life too.

Good luck with your new friendship!

Yes. If your children are young enough for a park they will probably see this new person as just another adult who "belongs" to the other children. I doubt they'd think more than that.
And at least you'll see how the children get on.
Good luck.

I suppose it's good to have both sets of children together. I'd give it a go and see how you all get on.

Playdate for our kids. It's basically myself and this guy meeting up at the playground to bring our kids to play

Do you mean a date or do you mean a play date for your kids?
“Play date” when applied to adults is too coy and twee.

BlueBelle just wanted an opinion from here as I know thus website gives good advice about kids

Do grown ups go on “play dates”?

Thanks mumof madboys. Kids are both 7/8 .girl and boy

Sure you haven’t wandered onto the wrong forum shouldn’t you be on Mumsnet ?

It depends a bit how old your children are. If they are young you could meet in a park but if they are teenagers it is probably best just for the two of you to meet. Take it slowly and see how the relationship evolves. Good luck and wishing you every happiness.
