    I've been single for several years now. As a single dad, my focus has been on raising my children, work and keeping the house functional. There hasn't been time for dating. My youngest child is still in pull-ups, and there really isn't a lot of free time now still. BUT, I recently met someone through church. Actually the pastor of my church introduced me to a minister at another nearby church. Long story short, we hit it off right away. He asked me out, sparks flew, and we've been dating now for a few weeks. He's a very kind and gentle person. We have a lot in common and enjoy each other's company. And we have a strong mutual attraction.

    We both enjoy talking about religion and he has had a lot of questions about the JWs. It's just been a few weeks so who knows where it will all go. But I've certainly been enjoying everything so far. Wish me luck!

    How he interacts with your children will be the key

    that may or may not open your heart

    I wish you much more than luck, but all the joy

    and happiness you deserve

    Thanks guys for your kind replies. It's going well so far. I haven't dated before so the kids have never been introduced to anyone. This has been very much on purpose. I'm keenly aware of the kind of quality person who I would want to be with as my children always come first. I do have friends, of course, and my children come along to lunches with friends, etc. A couple of times now, we've all hung out together, and he's been introduced as a friend. He is really great with the kids and they really like him. But slow is best. And we're on the same page as far as all of that is concerned it seems.

    Oh and I just wanted to say one more thing. Well wishes from the people who have offered them here are so very much appreciated. I don't always post much here, but I do try to come on here daily to read posts. So I know each of you through my readings here and of course I have interacted with a couple of you on threads, etc. That you offer your kind words here means a lot.
