itshardbeingafox Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I have been talking to a man I used to work with years ago. We were good friends and spoke at work a lot. I was in a long standing relationship when we met and so was he, in fact his girlfriend at the time was pregnant. I was the one from the office to organize a baby shower for them before his son was born. I left for another job about a month before his son was born and we didn't speak for a few years as I never saw him. A few months ago he found me on facebook, we began talking again and I discovered he was no longer with the mother of his child. He asked me out several times and after the 7th invitation I accepted. We just had our date last night and it was absolutely fantastic. We are both runners, musicians and he and my father have been playing music together for years and get along well. He is an amazing guy. This week I'm having a cook out and while a lot of my friends have children I do not. I'm always Aunt (insert name here) with toddlers dangling to my hips as I try to walk around, I've never had to deal with kids past feeding them chocolate and returning them to my friends all amped up. ANYWAY, he is bringing his son. I should probably mention he has full custody of his son. I have no idea how to act, he's very affectionate and likes to hug me and hold my hand, I don't know how to act when he does this in front of his son. His son is 3 by the way. Do I treat his son like I do my inherited nieces and nephews and play with him and be his friend, how is this kid going to react when he see's his Dad with a woman who is not his mom. His mom isn't around anymore or even in the picture. I'm 27 and so is the guy. I've never been around kids much. I can't even imagine what I'm supposed to do in this situation. Any insight or help is appreciated. Slightly overwhelmed would be an understatement. Edited September 4, 2011 by itshardbeingafox
darkangel1308 Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Best thing you could do would just be to ask the guy everything you just asked us. He knows his son best and could probably help you out a lot more =]
