How can i tell my mother that i am dating/seeing someone?

Question

well i've been seeing/dating this lad for about a week and a bit now, but the only problem is that i have no idea how to tell my mum, i don't know how to approach her with this topic. i've always been really over-protected with three brothers, my mum always used to say your not aloud any boyfriends, i guess why that is why i don't speak to her or even tell her about my relationships. she likes to think that i can tell her anything but the truth is i can't. its not because i don't want to i do, i just don't know how to approach this subject. please help!! x

Answer 1

Ask, "Is it OK to bring my boyfriend for tea?"

Answer 2

Say "I'm dating someone."

I didn't realize that would be hard.

Answer 3

Oh I had this problem a long time ago and I had three brothers also! I did not tell my parents anything but one day one of my brothers saw me with my boyfriend (now my husband) and he made a remark at home so everyone got to know about it.  I know how you feel though it was some time ago.  Just let slip one day that you are going to go somewhere like a film or the theatre then you wont have the problem any more. Good luck.

Answer 4

I think 16 is the perfect age to start dating. As long as your careful, and you know what I mean. Maybe you should just casually introduce your bf to your mom and say, ' Mom, this is my friend so and so, and we're going to hang out, ok?' Make it sound like he's a friend and maybe it'll take the edge off of your moms protectiveness.

Answer 5

You don't say how old you are - and that is important in the right way to tackle this.

Answer 6

definitely , we need to know how old u are first?

Answer 7

just be open and tell her that you are going out with some  one.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I would start off with Mom you said I can talk to you about anything, and then say I met this boy, pause  see her reaction  (pause a few seconds, you obviosly could tell if this will go good or not) if it seems like it will go good continue slowly watching for body language.  If she gets mad then say I guess I can't talk to you about anything.
