how to avoid getting attached to the little you are "babysitting"?

[eastcoastdd]

So I have been talking to a little, shes not too far and I get happy because I can be my daddy self and really care for her.. Due to some circumstances, we may never be official and I am okay with that because it is what it is... But we have plans to meet, watch movies, talk, cook, etc platonically.. I don't know if this is until she finds her Mr. Right, or if it will continue after. How do I avoid getting attached too much to her. It may be sfw with punishments if we meet, but its just, shes an amazing person.. I feel happy just caring for her and making sure she eats, sleeps well, or the little day to day things. I am looking for my forever little, someone to call my own, but its hard when my feelings are growing with her.thank you for any advice!
