Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for about eight months. It’s going really well. His divorce will be finalized soon (they’ve been apart for six years), but his therapist keeps telling him not to introduce me to his teenage daughter. I’ve met her briefly, where I was introduced as his friend, but she’s reached out to me on social media because the conversation we did have was wonderful. She and I share many of the same hobbies, and she’s looking for a mentor. I hate keeping my relationship with her father secret, and I’m hoping when the judge signs the paperwork it will no longer have to be, but in the interim, how do I approach her and my boyfriend? I like the daughter a lot, if that adds anything. She’s a good kid with a good head on her shoulders. I think she can handle her dad dating. Her mother does it a lot.
