My daughter had just turned 10 when Dave and I started dating. I am VERY fortunate that he had no hang ups about it. Her daddy is still very much still in the picture...considering that me and her and dave and her daddy and his g/f all live in the same house....I have never expected Dave to take on a roll as daddy....she has one....I expect her to respect Dave...as an adult and she does. She was concerned at first but once she understood Dave was not going to play daddy she was fine and the two of them of a great relationship.
You say this womans ex is still in the picture so I dont see where you need to automatically think that you need to take any "extra" responsibility other than respecting a mothers relationship with her child.
I am fortunate that Dave has never wanted children of his own, so he is perfectly willing to take on a step daughter...ahahaha even if she is almost a teenager.
For the sake of your girl you need to sort this out...its no fun for the mommy to deal with the fact that her guy doesnt want her just cause she has a kid...specially when you knew that when you started seeing her.
