Pretty much the same situation here, except my daughter is now 11 (!)...

You just have to accept that dating might be 50% harder for you because there are a few women out there unwilling or unable to deal with being your 2nd love.

I've learned that explaining the situation and what your child means to you must be done on the 1st date. People begin to form opinions and ideas about what the relationship is going to be like almost right away, so you need to make sure she's thinking the right things from the get-go.

I have found a girl who lets me put my daughter first, and she's very understanding of that. Unfortunately, there might be completely different factors that cause this relationship to fail...
