Hi all!
My BF and I are both D for 2 years. We have been seeing each other for about 4 months now. I have no kids. He has 1 14-year-old daughter and she goes to boarding school. She will be home for spring break soon, and he just told her about me. She wants to meet me, and he is supportive of this. The problem?
I am a nervous wreck!!!! His parents love me, his friends too...it's all been good so far. But meeting his teenage daughter is such a threat. I am nervous for 2 reasons:
1. I feel like it is lose-lose. That is, I will be a threat to her even if she likes me. I will represent the reason her parents aren't getting back together, and I am afriad she will not like me no matter what I do.
2. I hate to admit this, but I am actually threatened of her too! I mean, she adores her dad, he adores her....I have never seen him as a dad. I don't know how I will react to them snuggling and being close. I know it sounds juvenile, but I have to be honest so I can work through it. I am afraid that I will be jealous or that we will triangulate in some way that makes us feel competetive for his attention. I DON'T WANT THIS! I want to be the "cool" new person in her life and be fun and have a nice time getting to know one another.
I am seriously dreading it. Do you have any advice? Tips?
She is an only child.
Thanks!!!
