I agree, at least a couple of dates without the kids, maybe only one if they have kids too. But after that, plan late nigh weekday dates if you want one on one time and, weekend stuff that includes the kids.
If it gets serious, you'll be glad you gave your kids the chance to get to know your partner at their own pace, and time to see them as a friendly adult and, not just someone mommy threw at them and they have to like.
None of this "Here you are dears, an new aunt, you'll love her." The day said new aunt whom kids have never met moves in. Be you, be honest and really having kids isn't near the turn off it used to be when it comes to dating. Most are okay with kids and, if they aren't, you don't want them anyway.
