I am a 48 year old mom of a 22 year old daughter. My daughter hung out with a guy only 3x more than 2 months ago. She told me he was boring and not aggressive enough for her. I know this is not my business, but I keep bringing him up when I can and tell her she should reconsider. I never even met the guy and cannot stop my mind from thinking she should get in touch with him and give it another chance. I know this is very weird to think and act like this, but I obsess about it quite a bit. I don't have a boyfriend of my own, so is this why I am doing this? My daughter has had boyfriends and hung out with guys in the past and this has never happened before. I can't understand what is up with this particular guy. Can anyone help me?
I would think this might be a mom thing. Is it possible that you feel this guy might be good for her? My mother does this often. If I reject a guy that she feels is a good match for me, then she gets pretty caught up on it, too. The important thing to remember is that even though you only want what's best for her, it's up to her to make these decisions. I'm sure it would be pretty useless for her to give this guy another chance if she really doesn't like him that way.
However, since you've never met him, maybe you just feel a little bit sorry for him? Or maybe it's just a mother's intuition. Has she told you anything about this guy, like the way he acts? If so, that could be what's causing these feelings.

I think you are right. I do feel sorry for him and this may be a big part of the reason, since I am very much for the "underdog." Thank you.
