I have a child and a career and tons of friends which takes up a lot of my time.But recently I met the best looking man I have ever seen in my life in a random situation and we got chatting and really clicked. It was sort of like something in a movie. After he asked me for my phone number. I lied and said I didn't have a phone cos obviously I didn't know him very well (doubt he believed me) but I gave him my email address. We have been chatting back and forth and have loads in common. He wants to meet up but the problem is that he doesn't know I have a child. It is not that I kept it from him it just didn't come up. I want to tell him but do u think I should tell him when I see him or email him now and tell him then see if wants to meet up? How should I say it without sounding awkward or like I am pressuring him into relationship. I don't want him to think I'm looking for a replacement dad. I am not sure I am even ready to commit. I just want to have some fun thats all and see where it goes. Reply to this Question

 I would tell him when you meet up. This is information that cannot be withheld and needs to be laid out on the table as soon as possible, way before you even think about a relationship. For some people children are a deal breaker.
Just let the conversation flow, and when you describe yourself casually add that you're a mother. Then see what his reaction is. He doesn't even have to meet the child, only if you deem it necessary down the road.
