Dear Queenie,
I am a single woman with a young son and I would like to have a man in my life, but when I meet a man I don’t know how to let him know about my son and when I start going out with a man I don’t intend to bring him into my son’s life until we have been going together for at least a year and not unless we are getting serious about each other. Meanwhile, I’m not sure what to do.
Queenie, what can you suggest?—Lonely single mom
Dear Lonely single mom,
It is a good idea not to bring various men into your son’s life, but do not be in a hurry to find someone to get serious about.
Get involved in community activities such as volunteer work, church, civic organisations where you can make friends and meet interesting men. As you get to know people it will come up naturally that you have a young child, and if/when you get serious about someone it will be time to introduce him and your son to each other.
