I personally would wait a long time and not do it unless I thought the new guy was marriage material. Your kids are at pretty vulnerable and impressionable ages.

You will know when the time is right. I will say I introduced my BF earlier than I think I normally would have because our boys are the same age. -
Since when does 5 hours away constitute a "long distance" relationship? Try seeing someone who lives 3,000 miles away and an 8 hour flight to see.
As far as dating goes there is nothing wrong with introducing a man to your kids as your friend. However if you are planning anything else you might want to think twice. What is it you want out of the relationship? Does he want the samething? Does he like kids? Is he willing to include the kids in some of your dates with him?

I don't really think there is certain time frame. I think you should do it when you are most comfortable with it. Your children, you set the pace.
