When the time is right? My daughter is 5 and very protective of me. She is in the stage where she doesn't like any boys, at all. She has met some of my really good friends (male and female) and is always really shy, but warms up to the females eventually. She refuses to even speak to or look at the males. Her dad has a girlfriend that she gets along with just fine, but she has also been in her life for over three years. I am just trying to get the best possible ideas so that it is easiest on all of us. I am not ready to have them meet yet, just preparing for it! Thanks for any and all helpful ideas! :)
Exactly why I said I wasn't ready...
 
About 1 year after you have been dating...this way if it does not work out, your daughter won't get the idea that your moving from man-to-man. What is also VERY important, is why/how was explained to your daughter why her father is not in the picture anymore...divorce? Jail? One-night stand? Was she sold the premise that boys/men are bad, and so protective of you?

Sorry, but that's the price of having kids from a previous relationship.
 
its probably best to introduce thm while she isx young because she will have time to grow into him if things begin to get very serious
*a good way to have them meet would be like go see a childrens movie and have him sit with you guys and try to have him offer to buy her candy or popcorn(not saying buy heraffection but try to get her comfortable)
*or maybe even a fun children's area such as chucki e cheese(we live in different states so im unsure of what placs you guys have to offer but while there get her to at least play game wiith her)
*and lastly you uys could all go to the park;- it would be a sweet time to bond it get her alittle used to him
*bring him around every so often so she is used to him and knows who he really is
****qudd luck hope i helped
