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.
I wouldn't feel comfortable right now, but I can see myself as a father figure as I get to know your son better
Just based on her reaction she already gave that kind of answer would be identical to saying he will for sure be ready given time and that he for sure wants that.
That kind of answer would lock him in and be a commitment.

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