I say if you’re interested go for it now, otherwise you might regret it later on. I really don’t see this as much of a problem.

My wife did not grow up with this same opportunity to explore her feelings openly and honestly.

I totally understand that you need to assist your daughter here, the difference between 13 and 17 is too extreme to just let her experience that on her own. Eventually that love would have died out naturally giving your daughter the chance to learn something about relationships from someone a bit older.
