k well i had plans with this friend of mine today and i just phoned my mom to see if i could go to his house and she asked who was gonna be there and i said no one so she said no. so then we got in this big argument and she said she'd 'talk' to me when she got home cause she didn't want me to be the only girl there. but she doesn't understand that me and him are friends.. how do i make her let me have opposite gender friends?

Then when you are a little older she'll trust you more, simply because you did as she wished without giving her a hard time about it. [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]

But, that's probably not all she wants to hear. Tell her that he doesn't have any interest in you that way either. Tell her that you just wanted to hang out with a FRIEND, and if it would make her feel more comfortable, she can drive you there and meet him. Be firm and remind her that you are a responsible young lady who makes good, not stupid choices. If worse comes to worse, suggest to her that you hang out with him AND some other friends somewhere else. Good Luck! Hope I helped!
