I agree with Lee G. Just introduce him to your bf like you would anyone else. Don't force affection, that'll come in time. Just let your son be around him and eventually he'll warm up to him. It took my son 3 encounters with his grandfather before he would give him a hug so every child is different. If he cries at first, don't worry. If he cries after several attempts maybe look into a new bf. Just kidding - it'll all work out.

Just smile and walk with him slowly to your boyfriend. Your boyfriend ought to understand and he will stand patiently and smile and talk gently with your son. It takes time but eventually your son will get used to your boyfriend and like him.

You don't. Your son shouldn't meet any man unless you are planning a future with him and you are EXTREMELY sure that he's going to be in your life forever--like if you're engaged.

It would be horrible for you son to come to know and love this man, only to have you guys break up and him never see the boyfriend again. That's too traumatic for kids.

I agree with SugarCat, Try focusing on your child, not men.

It takes time, best thing to do is allow the boyfriend to get active with your baby while your holding him or playing with him. Big smiles and cute funny face! little tickles work too! Omg i love babies their the best! (pinchs cheek!) XP
