Hi John I forgot you had the blended family bit, but am guessing you entered that m with no children of your own?
I can see you have given this much thought and not been carried away on a wave of euphoria. Good for you. Many woman want the same as you. I guess it may have something to do with dare I say it -age, although I have no idea in your case or g/f's, you have a young daughter so maybe not so old. Why must you be willing to move in if you love her? has this been talked about. Honesty is the only way to go,imo, maybe b/c lies hurt me more than anything and I have always valued honesty and truth. Good luck, for now just enjoy the what is. I think thats great your s/d call and want to meet up, why wouldn't they I guess they see you as a Dad. Hope you had a great time.
