True beauty stems from within. It seems your mother should know this...regardless it's not like going out on some dates with this guy means you are going to marry him.
Ask your mother if her mother (your grandmother)picked all of her boyfriends? Or did she go out with guys she liked?
Make sure the guy is of good moral character and point this out to your mother. Stand up for this guy if you really like him. Your mother may come around.
I am supposing you are old enough to date so just have fun, but wait to ever have sex until you are very sure. Don't let your hormones rule your sensability.

The only thing that matters is that you like him.
Looks DOESN'T matter, their personailty is what counts.

As for your mom (no offence) but she sounds a bit shallow. Maybe it would be a good idea to have her get to him better. (Hopefully that sentence made sense)

Wow - please don't be upset at my answer, but that is really shallow of your mom.

You need to remind her what matters is how he treats you ... not how he looks. Let her know you aren't looking for eye-candy but a relationship.

It could be your mom doesn't really think this on any deep level. She might pick apart anyone you dated as 'not good enough'. Or maybe she is looking for bragging rights "look who MY daughter is dating!".

You know your mom best, so you can probably figure out where this negativity is coming from: Fear of losing you or more selfish reasons.

But you need to address it now before it becomes a pattern. I'd hate to see you avoiding your mom and cutting her out of the part of your life that will someday mean the most (husband/family) because she is critical on such a shallow level.

If you are old enough to date, you are old enough to chose for yourself. Tell her you don't want to hear anything negative about your BF unless she fears for your safety.

My mom says the same thing to me all the time. But a guy who is her type, may not be my type. If you like him, that is all that matters, you spend the most time with him and you really know him and she doesnt. As for your mom, she is just looking out for you, so dont take it to heart. That is her job!
