writes:My mom's friend has three sons, one of whom is my age (16). I've heard that he's a lot like me in the way that he's kind of shy but is hard working and responsible. I've never had a boyfriend before, and I don't have any guy experience, but I would like to meet him (he's currently in another city working with his uncle for the summer). I've put my past failures aside and I'm trying to work on my self esteem. How can I tell my mom that I'd like to meet him, and when I do, how can I not freeze up?

 It sounds to me like you are a very lovely young woman, and you certainly are choosing a boy by the character that he exhibits rather than something a bit more shallow. The only thing that I can suggest to you to bolster your own self esteem is that you certainly seem to be the type of girl that most parents would LOVE their son to meet. Don't let your own issues trip you up. Throw caution to the wind and put yourself out there when you meet him! As far as I can see, you are well suited, so just don't choke! Think of it this way, you don't have anything to lose, so relax and let him see who you really! We're all nervous, we're all self-conscious and we'd all LOVE to get through that first date without feeling nervous, but that's not life. Just go with the flow, and if it's meant to be, it will happen!
