IMHO you don’t get to call them that until they call you dad, and that doesn’t necessarily happen the moment you get married.
My mother in law married someone while my wife was an adult. She would never call him dad, and he would never call her daughter, that doesn’t mean they aren’t family or aren’t close.

Nonsense, you call eachother how you see them. If my stepson doesn’t call me dad that’s fine, he’s still my stepson
