advice on dating a dad?

r/

so my (26f) boyfriend (29m) have been together for about 7 months. he has a 3 y/o daugther and shes the cutest little girl ive ever met. Ive never had any interaction with little kids or babies or anything, i dont have any siblings or cousins and ive never even wanted to be a mother, but im actually totally on board with this relationship including his daugther, specially cause hes a very good father and loves her to death.

the thing is every time we hang out, the three of us, im always a little awkward, even though i love to be included in their days together (every weekend cause she lives with her mom) i always try to talk to her and play, its actually very fun.

most of the time i believe im trying to give him his space with her by not trying to get all of his attention but he just thinks im being and quiet, weird or bored. i know i could and will get better at this dinamic but as its my first time i think it might take a while to learn. how do i explain this to him because i think he might be dissapointed with my attitude. do you think there’s anything i could be doing better? im really trying so ill take any suggestions

TL;DR
my boyfriend is dissapointed on my time spent with his daughter, how do i get better?

    Why are you seeing her so much? Honest question, you guys haven’t been together that long.

    Do you even want to be a “mom” of sorts? At 26 I wouldn’t have wanted any of that. Why is he so concerned with this?
