Q: ok i'm 17 and i always told my parents i didn't want to date and they always told me to tell them when i wanted to start to date, so you know they can meet him an all. the problem is that i want to tell my mom because my parents are divorced and i trust my mom more but when i tried to tell my mom that this guy liked me and that i liked him too her reaction was happy only cause i told her i didn't want to date. so i had to lie because i was afraid pulse my mom has been feeling stressed with work and all the issues we have that i feel i shouldn't say anything but i feel bad for the guy i like hes very nice and is willing to meet my mom.its not his fault i'm too afraid to say anything! someone give me advice i dont know what to do....thanks

Go ahead and tell her. She can handle it. She's a mom. I bet she's been expecting this day to come. Your mother should have the wits to know that you will want to date when you meet the right guy. She even gave you a verbal invitation by asking you to let her know when that time comes. You have already hinted a guy in your life and she didn't flinch. Know that moms know a lot more than they let off. Take a deep breathe and get it over with. You are almost an adult. Your mom must know that you aren't going to be forever under her wing in her nest. It's a big step but it's one you are going to have to make sooner or later.
