Karin, that's an understandably difficult issue. My feeling is that since you don't want to discuss the loss of your son with a stranger, when someone asks if you have children, just say no. Later, if you are comfortable with the gentleman and want him to know, then you can tell him. If he's sensitive and cares about you, he'll understand how personal and important that information is to you and how deeply your hurt runs. The information you later reveal should make him respect and appreciate you even more.
