Thoughts?

So I’m 27 with a 7 year old daughter. We lost her dad when she was around 1. Since then I haven’t really dated. I’ve talked to guys. No one I feel really interested in. Randomly met a guy quite a bit older than me which I’m fine with. Older is a personal preference for me. He met my daughter but we were never really official and that went on for a little over 2 years and was just messy. He had a lot of his own issues. Pretty manipulative.. is it weird that I feel comfortable with possibly being single the rest of my life. Just me and my daughter. I really have no desire for marriage as marriage doesn’t interest me. Maybe a companion type of thing but no living together and those sorts of things… am I being selfish for not having that “father figure” in my daughters life?? I feel I have different views in life than most and the cookie cut family just doesn’t seem it for me.
