My daughter just asked me why I haven't had sex in years, I didn't know how to answer.

I'm an older single dad in my 50's, and I have a teenage daughter. Between work and taking care of her, I don't have time to date, and frankly, I don't have much of a social life, so I haven't had sex since my wife passed away.<br><br>This weekend we went to a hotel for a bit since our house was flooded due to a broken pipe. My daughter got a room on the same floor as mine, and she went to her room to watch TV. I went to the hotel bar to have a few drinks. I met a woman there, and she seemed nice. We talked and had some more drinks, and I found out she was in the same situation as me, taking care of her kids alone.<br><br>She was actually the first woman in years that I felt a connection with. So we went to my room and had sex. The next morning I felt bad because I haven't been with anyone else, and I felt guilty. When we got back home, my daughter noticed that I came back to the house with the woman from the hotel bar.<br><br>She asked me who she was and if she was my girlfriend. I didn't know how to answer. I told her she was a friend, and she asked why I had a friend in my room at night. I told her the truth, that the woman and I met at the hotel bar and had sex. She asked why I haven't had sex in so long and who else I've had sex with.<br><br>I told her the truth: that I haven't had sex with anyone else since her mom passed away, and that I haven't been with anyone in years. She looked at me with surprise and asked why I haven't been with anyone else. I told her that I've been so busy and that I hadn't met anyone I connected with until this woman.<br><br>She nodded and didn't say anything else. The next day she asked me if she could talk to me about something. I said of course, and she told me that she's happy that I'm happy and that she hopes I find someone else. I hugged her and told her that I appreciate it. It made me feel good that she was understanding.
