This may sound ridiculous, but it depends on your father.

I'm a single dad and have just recently started seeing people again. Although I have no intentions of a serious relationship of any sort at this point, my daughter comes first. I'm open and honest with her, and we have very frank discussions about how she's feeling. If my daughter doesn't like the person I'm seeing, then I don't see her anymore.

If you have that kind of relationship with your dad, talk to him about it and share your concerns. Talk to your potential step mom as well, and tell her how you feel, perhaps the entire family can sit down and have a 'family meeting.' I know it sounds like a cliche, but it's the best way to get everyones feelings out in the open and discuss the situation.

Enter the situation with an open mind, don't assume that she will be 'evil,' and give her the benefit of the doubt. I think you'll find that having a step son is just as scary as having a step mom.
