I (28M) just found out that the little girl next door is my daughter (14F)

My problem is that the opening of this post is basically identical to the classic joke: "I (28M) just found out that the little girl next door is my daughter (14F) and I never felt so proud to be a dad. Good thing I made her my girlfriend when she turned 13. I thought 12 was too young for sex. I'm glad I waited. She was so pure, innocent, and just so fucking hot! <br><br>Jokes aside, my problem is that the girl who lives next door is my actual daughter. I got a DNA test after a redditor commented that she might be mine. <br><br>This happened 14 years ago, back when I was 14. The girl who lives next door is the only girl I ever had sex with. We had sex for a couple of months, but it was a secret because of our age. I was scared that her parents would turn me over to the authorities, and I would have to spend my life as a registered sex offender. She knew that I was scared, so she promised to never tell anyone. She said that she didn't want me to spend my life as a registered pedophile, since she was the one who initiated sex. She said that she knew I wasn't ready at the time, but I should "man up" and stop whining about it. <br><br>As you can probably guess, I caught feelings for her. I was convinced that she loved me back. I remember telling her that I loved her. I told her that she was my first love, my best friend, my crush, and my soulmate. I told her that I wanted to spend my life with her. She was obviously embarrassed, but she promised to never forget me. <br><br>Back when I turned 18, I knew I was too old for a 4 year old. I promised myself that I'd never touch her again. I didn't want to be that guy. I promised to wait until she was old enough to make her own decisions. I promised to wait until she turned 18. However, I quickly realized that 18 is way too young for a relationship. I was an adult. I had a real job, a real house, a car, and over 10 years of experience having sex with adult women. <br><br>I promised myself that I would wait until she turned 21. I figured that this was the perfect age, since I would still be young enough to be attractive. I was wrong. I was still way too old and way too experienced for a 21 year old. I knew I had to wait longer. <br><br>I promised myself that I would wait until she turned 28. But that would mean that I would be turning 42. I thought that 42 was way too old. I doubted that I could ever find a 42 year old woman who was attractive, single, and interested in me. <br><br>Now I'm turning 29, and she's turning 15. I'm really scared that I might be too old for her. I doubt that she'd be interested in a 29 year old man after turning 18. I know I should give up on her. But I can't. I have no willpower when it comes to her. I knew that I had to be with her, one way or the other. I hope I'm not too old for her. I sometimes wonder if it's normal to have these feelings. I doubt that it's normal. People usually don't talk about this. It must be wrong. But I never felt so proud to be a dad.
