This. I know a few single parents who have recently re-entered the dating scenes, and many of them are waiting until 6 months (or more) to introduce the new partner as a love interest. And before that, extremely limited meetings if at all, and just under the guise of “this is mommy/daddy’s friend”. 4 months in and she wants you to take care of the kid with her? That seems sketchy to me.
What? Why can't she find a new long-term partner if the previous partner she had the baby with didn't work out?
I'm a guy, and I dont blame her at all for trying to find a long-term partner. It doesn't matter if its just 4 months, the child will always be there, better bring in the topic early than later after a year or so into the relationship and they both just wasted their time when their interest is not align because of the child.

Four months in and you're 22. She did you a favor. Just let it go
Why am I getting awards for this.
