2yr old vs step father

I have happily separated from my daughters father and am in a new relationship w/ a great guy. Unfortunately my 2yr old daughter has no respect for my boyfriend. She will only play with him but will not take him seriously when he tries to get her to listen to him. Ive never been in this situation b4 so i dnt kno how to handle it. My daughter doesnt really have a close relationship w/ her father so i figured she wud be happy to have a male figure in her life but she doesnt listen to him what so ever. I feel bad because i know it must be frustrating for my boyfriend to try and be a father figure to a child that doesn't pay him any attention unless she wants to play. Any suggestions,tips,tricks?

Oh she is adorable what we call a little smasher, in what way does she not respect your BF , maybe he should just continue with the playing and leave the 'serious talking alone 2 year olds arent good at that. If he pays her a lot of attention and plays games with her he will win her over it takes time., playing with him is a good thing, let time go by and rest will follow. Good Luck
