Tell him you want your mom to get to know him, also. If that still doesn't work then when you go to mention the party tell her a few friends will be there or whatever. That way your not lying, but she doesn't have to know he's going to be there. :) [ Meghan09's advice column | Ask Meghan09 A Question ]

Just tell her you want to go, and leave it at that, don't tell her it's because of him. She's probably not comfortable with your feelings for him and that's typical, a lot of parents aren't, so play it down and tell her you're just friends, there's no reason she needs to know much more.

Tell him that you know it would be old-fashioned but if he could ask her permission to date you she might relent and say yes. If he really likes you then he wouldn't mind doing this for you.
He doesn't need to alter how he looks but if he acts polite it will go a long way to making her feel that you would be safe with him.
