Alright, so basically there's this guy who you could say is interested in me; i'm interested in him too. The only bad this is, his mom has made it clear that she'd rather he date someone else than me. I have no idea what i've done wrong. She's constantly encouraging him to find another person to hang out with, call, or whatever. They've already gotten into a fight because she was trash talking me.
BitsandPieces answered Sunday October 8 2006, 12:13 pm: How did you find out all this information? Did the guy tell you? I think it was unnecessarily cruel if he did. If you are a nice person and not a bad influence on her son, then I don't know what reason she would have for disliking you. Maybe she wants to set him up with her friend's daughter, or she just wants to be in control of her son's every decision. She could also be threatened by how much influence you have over her son. If you plan on staying with this guy, then you need to find a way to be friends with his mom. Spend some time with her and make an effort. You may have done nothing to offend her, and she may really get to like you if given the opportunity. Maybe she is afraid he is too serious too soon with you. Let her know that you are someone who she could like, and she will probably back off. Whatever you do, never trash talk her...your guy will most likely carry it back to mommy and then she will hate you. On the other hand, tell him something nice about her and it will get back to her and win you points! [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

and maybe you should try to make a better impression, make her cookies? bake her brownies? be a total sweetheart. basically, suck up to her, but not to the point to where it gets annoying. just do it to where she'll be like "she seems like a nice girl." be polite, always say thank you, and you're welcome, and yes ma'am, and no ma'am. and another thing, do NOT dress slutty, or anything around her, be as conservative as possible, without looking like a nun :) [ FREEZEPOP's advice column | Ask FREEZEPOP A Question ]

Ask her why she is treating you like this and what you did to deserve her treating you like this. After she tells you then let her know that you are not going anywhere and she should just deal with it. You need to show her who is in charge and that she needs to get over the fact that you dating her son because it isn't going to change. If you ask her about it you won't stress over it. If you don't ask it will just eat the inside of you up. If you stand up to her she will back off. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
