You might want to call him over for dinner at your house with your parents so that your mom can see the --real side-- of him. But, if she doesn't change, then you have to tell her to trust you. For more trust from your mom, also..take your cell phone with you (if you don't have one, ask to borrow your moms or dads). If there is absolutely no way you can bring a cell phone, force your BF to make stops on the way to a phone that you can call your mom. This will reassure her that you're okay. On the first date with your boyfriend (in his car), make it a point to be a bit obsessive with calling your mom so that you she will feel satisfied. But, explain to your BF before-hand that if you don't make frequest calls on this one date, then she might never let you go out with him alone again. On the next date, make less frequents calls. Keep doing this until eventually you never have to call her. Also, be wary..although nothing will happen - be careful because what's even worse is knowing that you're mom was right all along! So in short: 1) Bring BF home to parents for dinner 2) Explain to your mom that you'll be fine and you're not easy with guys (if you haven't told her already) 3) Warn your boyfriend about frequent calls to mom 4) Make frequent calls to mom on FIRST date ONLY. 5) Make less calls on the next date. 6) Be careful...don't want your mom to say, "See told ya so!".
