My step dad died 6 years ago and miss him dearly!! We just started talking on the phone quite a bit and hit it off really good and he wants to come visit. One minute I feel excited and great about it and the next I feel weird! At my age I really don't care what other people think and I'm thinking he's thinking that too....ugh! what to do!!??

This kind of thing happens quite a bit. So I say go with your feelings, and if you are in love with him, tell him how you feel and that you want to pursue a relationship with him. Post back here after you have gotten together with him and let us know how it went.

If the two of you had met before your parents did and became involved, would you then consider it strange if your parents then did the same? It is only a matter of chance that they met first instead of you two. Don't let their decision to marry and be together prevent the two of you from doing the same.
I have a friend who was involved with his step-sister. They'd actually dated BEFORE their parents got married. Their families wanted to pretend that the relationship was incestuous. Please! These people need to learn the difference between a relative and a roomate. The fact that one person's relative becomes involved with another person's relative, does not meant that these two people are in any way related themselves.
You don't need anyone else's approval and there is no basis for anyone to condemn you anyway.

it may seem weird but there is no blood relation so its not illegal.
i think that a visit will be a very good idea and a great opportunity for you to talk with him and figure out what the two of you want.
best of luck
