Man with daughter

Hello to everyone. My apologies if this topic has been discussed before, probably so, but perhaps more from the woman's perspective than the man's. The question is quite straightforward. Not so long ago, my mother remarked that I should not be so obvious demonstrating the love for my young child because it would suppose an obstacle, a hindrance, if I wished to enter a relationship with a woman. Also, since joining the site I have received more than one message giving me the same 'advice'. However, I am not the kind of person to hide who I am, nor the way I am nor any other aspect of who I am, my life, and so on. For, do we not above all desire to be loved for who we are? Obviously there are, I am sure, women who would be jealous of such a relationship as I have with my offspring, indeed, female friends remark on observing our behaviour how they wish they had had such with their own fathers. But for me, with no desire to hide affection or for that matter any other emotion, being an open and frank person, for better or worse as the case may be, for this can be both a weakness as well as a strength, a woman of a certain age who would allow jealousy to impede on a potential love in my view would be simply immature and unready. On the other hand, it would be quite understandable if the woman were seeking her first child, or even another. I'm sure there are many different opinions and I would love to read them.
