Trying to be a good guy
When my daughter was in grade school I volunteered to coach an engineering-related team. Everything was fun for the first year...until the first 'competition', which involved the team making a group presentation on a mock solution based on the theme for season. The parents can stand and watch the presentation, but they cannot coach during any portion of the competition, especially this section. So the parents and coaches are standing at the back of the room simply watching, and suddenly I feel the left breast of one particularly hot mom pressing against my right elbow. I nervously crossed my arms to move my elbow away from her breast, and seconds later she put her left hand on my shoulder, pressed against me and whispered, "this is so exciting". Her breast was pressing against my right triceps as she did this. I was sweating bullets at that point. Other parents were in the room and I was sure they noticed this, but I never got any strange looks, so maybe they didn't. The team advanced to the next round and that mom emailed me later that week to ask if she could help the team 'in any way' and proposed that we meet for coffee to discuss. I declined the coffee but had her do paperwork organizing. She would make remarks like, 'I wish I could use my best talents' when she talked about her volunteering duties with me. I would feel very bad when I interacted with her husband, who seemed to be a really good guy.

Your choice what to do. As for me, male, married, I would have met her for coffee and seen where it would go.
Temptation is everywhere man. Sometimes it's subtle and sometimes it's in your face. Just don't underestimate the power of the subtle things. Sometimes those subtle temptations can have you slip right into a compromising position without even realizing it at first. Keep trying to be a good guy. Be that upstanding example that your daughter needs. The way you live your life while you're raising her will influence her in ways you might not even think about. Hang in there.
