You just have to accept it. Your dad is in the relationship, not you.
I'm sure it's hard for you to watch your dad date a girl who isn't your mom ( i have no idea what your situation is), but be glad that you love the girl! You'll get used to it after a while, I promise. It just feels weird at first because you're not used to seeing him date. Maybe you could try talking to the girl about it? Have a heart to heart with her-- she could reassure you!

Your dad is alone for some reason or other, he has that right to be happy. The best part of this on your behave is the fact that you do like her. It will take some time to get used to your dad being with another woman that is for sure, but it will happen in time. So for now, just be friends with her and then later on another type of relationship will become of it and hope a even better one.
My brother passed away a couple of years ago. My sister in-in-law has started dating again. Her two kids (grown) didn't like it at first but have gotten used to it now.
So give it some time and I am sure that things will work out for the best for you.

Believe it or not, this is a common problem with children and they're divorced parents. Do you want to be happy and secure with your life some day? Good. Then don't you agree that your father deserves the very same? Your father is not trying to replace your mother. He is simply trying to fill a void within his own life. I'll grant you that it is hard for a child to witness the divorce of they're mother and father, but look at it this way: Would you feel better about them staying in a loveless marriage? Or would you prefer them to be happy? Just because your parents are now divorced, doesn't mean that either of them love you any less. As a matter of fact, now that they have coped with the problems that they had, maybe now they each have more time to prove to you how much that they really do care about you.

Wait a minute here...did this person say that her parents are divorced? Why is everyone so quick to assume that?
I can relate to this girl...in a way. In my case, I'm the girlffriend. My boyfriend has 2 daughters. I like them both and I think they're great girls. They are slowly getting used to me being around. I promised myself and my boyfriend that I would move slowly. I was not trying to replace their mother (who has passed away). We are taking our time in getting to know each other. I'm not taking their dad away from them. Over time, we will work our way to becoming a family.
Listen...I know this is awkward for you. You like your dad's girlfriend. Just treat her like a friend. If things between your dad and this woman progress, you won't be thrown for a loop. The three of you should take time to get to know each other. There's no rush. You also should have a talk with your dad's girlfriend and let her know how you feel. I'm sure she will understand. Good luck.

That's good that you like her. I think it's hard for any kid to see their parents date someone who is not their mom or dad. In time you will get use to the fact that your dad dates.

Why not? Your father has a right to be happy. And it's good that you like the woman.

treat her as a friend, a close friend, not a step mom.
one thing at a time.
