Not Engaged Yet

Hi Ladies! Intro :-)

Hi!  I have lurked on here for a little while and now that I am in a serious relationship and we have discussed future plans together I thought I would introduce myself.  We do not have a wedding date planned but our discussions seem to be pointing towards sometime in 2011, maybe 2012.  We have been together a short time, about 2 1/2 months, but I just know he is it for me and he feels the same way.  I am 26 and have a young daughter from a previous relationship.  She is fiesty but I still love her very much none the less...Haha.  I am sure some of you ladies can relate.  My SO actually just met my daughter yesterday for the first time and it went great!  I am a social worker and my SO is an engineer.  He is divorced and has been for about 5 years.  He is ready to settle down again and finally have a family!  Thanks in advance for any great advice I can gather from you wise ladies down the road in the process!

    Hi! I would just caution you to take your time in your relationship for your's and your daughter's sake. 2 and 1/2 months isn't very long and its still the honeymoon phase of the relationship. But it sounds like you guys are planning on taking it pretty slow. But welcome to the board! We have lots of fun conversations around here that aren't wedding related at all. Its a great way to make the waiting better :D

    Yes, I also agree on taking our time, especially for my daughter.  This is the only man I have dated that I have introduced her to since I began dating again because I am soooo picky.  We will take it step my step and see what happens Smile I notice you are from Colorado.  I lived there for about 10 years and I love it!  If it weren't for custody issues I would move back there in a heartbeat!
