<human>: I've been with Lucy for around a year now, we were friends for 5 months after which started having bouncy fun time. Lucy has a five year old daughter Anna. 

I've only meet Anna about 3-4 times throughout our relationship not counting the times I saw her in passing with her Mom. In the times when I actually talked with her she was the sweetest most adorable little thing evea. 

Thing is I have no idea what she thinks of me. Whenever we were alone for however brief that time is she was always shying away, didn't look me in the eye, only gave one-word responses that kind of thing. I don't know if this is her childish nature or if she really resents me or what? 

I have tried talking with Lucy about this but she is hesitant to introduce to many adults she knows to her daughter mostly because of the girls father and his various female companions(ahem cuntnuggets) which she was unfortunately exposed to. I get that I sympathize but I really love Lucy (though I haven't said it in those words) and I want to be with her and her daughter as much as I can.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: How do I convince the mother I'm dating to let me have an active role with her daughter. Advice on dealing with children would also be appreciated.
