Oh, forgot the concern. Here it is. Are you sure it's you he's interested
in, or is it your boys? I hate to suggest that, but I have a family member
who works for the state as a child protective services officer, and after
stories he has told me, I find it curious that he wants to meet up with
you, with your kids. That set off warning bells for me. Of course, maybe he
really just is a geek. :-)
I never exposed my children to a new person I was dating (when I was single)
anyway, until I had a good sense of who they were. I would find that odd if
someone professed to be interested in me, and asked me and my kids out on a
*first* date, unless of course they had kids that were the same
age. Multi-chilidren dates have happened before, and worked out okay.
Just my $.02.
