Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:15 pm: If your mom's uncomfortable with your guy, I suggest you let HIM talk to her (maybe even without you around) and let her find out how much he cares about you. Or, if you don't want to do that, arrange for you and your mom and your guy to go out to lunch sometime and have a get-to-know-you session. Does she even know him?When my dad didn't know and was a little uncomfortable with my boyfriend, I dragged my boyfriend and my dad along with my mom and me to a chinese restaurant for dinner sometime, and let them all talk and get to know each other and stuff. It worked like a charm. Her problem might be that she doesn't see how much he cares about you, if she never sees you together. That was my mom's problem, until I dragged my boy over to my house for dinner one day and she saw us together and all that. Let your boyfriend get to know your mom, and it might change her mind. I hope this helps, good luck!

Even though you may think he's the world, mom is a step back and may see something you don't. A mom's experience is invaluable and you'll probably see whatever it is that she doesn't like about him, about 5 years from now. [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]

As it was already said, invite him over for dinner..yeah it will be awkward for him and your mom at first..but eventually everything will be calm...get them talking about things they both have in common,i guess..like bring out the good in your boyfriend..if your mom doesnt agree to letting him over for dinner..tell her 'Mom, you have to trust me on this one" ...or 'You're the one that raised me, and you did a good job,I wouldnt bring someone over that you wouldnt approve of"..something like that.

MFS answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 11:30 am: Try to sit down and talk rationally with your mom about this - find out exactly what it is that she doesn't like. Tell her exactly what it is that you do like. See if she's willing to at least hear you out, so long as you'd be willing to hear what she has to say. You might find out that he's not the issue at all, and that the issue is really between you and your mom - as in, she might be more worried about you growing up than she is about him.
