London, May 14 (Inditop.com) Hollywood actress Denise Richards has revealed she finds dating “challenging” because she doesn’t want potential suitors to meet her children until she knows a romance is serious.

The actress, who has daughters Sam, six, and Lola, five, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, admits it is difficult to combine the needs of her children while having a personal life, reports contactmusic.com.

“Dating is very challenging. I won’t introduce my kids to anyone I’m dating unless it’s very serious. And balancing everything – my daughters always come first. I will never get these years back with my girls,” she said.
