She said, “Yes I’ve been dating. And there’s definitely a difference. One, you can
never come to my house. I’ll never introduce you to my daughter. Because you
don’t want to bring up a child in an environment where she thinks that it is

“So it’s a rule. I don’t care how close you are to me, you can’t come to
my house. After her father, since I started dating, my daughter has only seen
one person and after that person she’s never met another person again. But I
try and give her a father figure. So I create role models around her. I’ll have
her go and spend time with my pastor’s family so she can have a “family”
orientation.”
