I'm a sophmore and hes a senior! Well, hes turning 18 in november and i'm turning 16 in december. Well, I know once he turns 18, everything illegal. But i snuck out last sunday to see him and i got caught so my mom doesn't really like the sound of him. I've been giving hints by wearing his football jeresy home, he picks me up for school every morning [but i go to my bus stop so my mom doesn't see that but yesterday he got me at my house because it was pouring] My mom like doesn't trust me with him! What can i do to make my mom like him? And, i want him to meet my mom but i dunno if shell like that. My mom is usually laied back about who i go out with, but for some reason my mom doesn't like that hes 2 years older then i am. help!
my questions:
1) how can i make my mom appreciate/trust me with him?
2) how do i make my mom like him?
3) how can i TELL my mom im going out with him other then throwing these stupid hints around?
any other advice about this subject will be appreciated!
thanks in advance :)
I can understand as to why your mum in nervous about you being with him. Having a two year difference in her eyes maybe frowned upon by other people and she doesn't know exactly as to what he's like:
1) She doesn't know whether he's a charming young man or not.
2) She doesn't know what kinds of friends he's got
3) She doesn't know what he does in his spare time (trust me, that's a biggy). So to her, he could be doing drugs or something of that nature (ONLY an example).
4) She doesn't know anything about his upbringing/what his family is like etc.
5) She doesn't know anything about what he's studying/whether he's got a job or not.
6) She doesn't know if he will treat YOU right.
You can't force somebody to like somebody, it's like trying to force yourself to like a guy and it's hard to do that because of all the issues you may have with that person.
Just tell her that you're going out, there is no point in beating around the bush now. Might as well hear what she's got to say about it and take it from there.

1) to make your mom trust him and you together make silly promises like "ill be home at this time" and actually show up at the time not a minute later, and she'll see your responsible. Also don't show public display of affection around her, if anything have him kiss you on the cheek in front of her, it shows he respects you.
2) Invite him over for dinner one night, tell him about some of your moms interests before hand, so he can strike up a conversation that she will like. Maybe he could even volunteer to help clean up after dinner or do some dishes, moms like that kinda things.
3) You could start off by just asking her if you could have a friend over for dinner, and then get into the conversation and tell her its a boy and im sure the question will come up if your going out with him or not, and just stay calm and be honest act like its no biggie and say yes you could also ass in " i want you to meet him and to give me your opinion on him " or "for your approval" that way she'll feel your not hiding it from her and you want her in your social life, i bet she'll like that.
