>The obvious thing is to ask her about her living situation. Could she move in with you. Explain that you have a thing for her and you already are feeling like this kid's dad. You aren't looking for an easy relationship but if she's willing to take a chance and get a bit of relief from some bills, it could work out.
>I'd be clear that you in no way want the kid's bio-dad showing up at your place. You aren't against him having a relationship with his kid, but not on your turf, ever!
>You will have to be a strong and gentle man to handle this situation. Best of luck bro.

Yo anon, thanks for the advice, man. Asking about her living situation makes a lot of sense—didn’t even think about that angle. I like the idea of laying it all out, telling her I’m catching feels and already feel like Liam’s dad. It’s true, I’m not looking for some easy fling; I’m ready to step up for both of them. The bills thing could really help her out too, take some weight off her shoulders. Hope this works out
