longlegzs80 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I have yet told my mom about this guy who has asked me out on a dinner date yet. I know she is very over protective and she will ask tons of questions. What should I say? Do I come straight out and say that a 37 year old man has been oggling me and asked me to go out on a dinner date? She knows I don't have any friends really so I can't lie and say I am going out with one of my friends. What would you do? I can't tell her that he is 37, because sh*t will hit the fan. As I have said she is very over protective and it would make her sick if I tell her that I am going out with a guy who is 37, especially since I am only 22. So help me out please.

Author longlegzs80 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 That sounds good. I just don't want to be questioned, and I know she will because if any guy calls the house here which used to happen, she would always ask tons of questions. I just don't want to deal with it. I want to have a nice dinner with this dude and that is it. Link to post Share on other sites
Author longlegzs80 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 Does my mom really have to know my business and who I am going out with? I don't want to lie to her because that would just ruin our relationship totally since she hates liars, but does she have to know about him as far as the age thing goes? Why should that matter?

moimeme Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 You're an adult now. You're entitled to make your own decisions and to not respond to a line of questioning if you wish. It seems, however, that you are very hung up on this age thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Thinkalot Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Look, you need your relationship with your mum to be honest. So be honest but stand your ground. If she starts asking too many questions, ask her to please not ask to many questions just yet. You need to have an adult-adult relationship with your mum. It's often hard to find the right balance...believe me, I know! Link to post Share on other sites
Author longlegzs80 Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 I look at my situation with this new guy as being a way of meeting someone new. And who knows he could be a wonderful guy. I know the age thing is a big deal to me, but if I go through life always thinking that way and keep meeting older men, I would pass up on opportunities with possibly some decent men. I am an adult and I wish my mom can just cut the embilical cord (sorry about the misspelling). I am more worried about her reaction to me meeting up with this older guy then anything.
