Ok, I have this really rare blood type (AB-) and my mom told me that if I want to have children, I have to go with my "partner" to get tested to see what blood types can mix with each other and be ok. She said if I mix body fluids (blood) with someone that isn't the same type as me, I'll die. And I really like this guy, but I don't know what blod type he is. And I don't want anyone to know that we....um, yeah. And I'm just....full of freaking questions! I'm such a dork!

In which case the O + blood type is universal to all blood types in case of transfusion needs. Most hospitals also have every blood type available. I think the only thing you have to worry about is maybe getting a shot before you give birth to help with not giving the baby any complications if you are to get pregnant. I myself have a rare blood type which is O - my husband is A+. I did not die from doing things with him, no complications from doing things with him either. I also have 2 healthy children one with A+ blood type and the other with O+. All in all it's the same situation with any negative blood type it doesn't matter the blood type of you're partner.

Ask your doctor next time you have a check up because mom really isn't correct in her facts.
You won't die. Hospital know all about typing blood and giving you the correct type in an emergency.
Do not worry about the boyfriends blood type. It makes no difference believe me. Mom is either trying to scare you into leaving the boys alone, or she honestly doesn't understand. :)
If you want more info, punch AB negative blood type into your search engine and you will pullup all kinds of site to check into. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
