writes:This is really embarrassing and I really don't know who else to ask. I am a 26 year old man, who because I lost my job had to move back in with my mother. The problem is that mom, now wants to know everything I do, who I hang out with, which is fine, I don't have many friends. The problem is that I now have a girlfriend, who is my first girlfriend ever. I know I am going to have to tell mom eventually that I am dating and I don't know how to go about it. I hate that I have to lie to my mother about going out on dates, but I don't know how she will react since she is a little over protective. I have told my dad (parents are divorced) and he is happy for me, and I asked him to not tell mom, that was my job. When do I tell her, me and my girlfriend have been going out for about 2-3 months.

 When should you tell her: As soon as possible, the longer you leave it the more akward you will feel not only that but I imagine your girlfriend wouldn't like the idea of you concealing her, nor would your mother like the idea that you feel you have to hide this from her.
How you should tell her: Personally I would just casually drop it inot conversation, "Yeah, I'm going on a date tonight, I've started seeing someone," and then suggest introducing her sometime in the future.
