But, he made a comment and I'm not sure how to take it. He kept staring at me over dinner and casually said, "You have a lot of my mom's disposition and mannerisms." Mind you, he and his mother got along famously and were best of friends. She is now deceased.The question I have is this: Is it a compliment to be told that my mannerisms and disposition are like him mom, or is it one of those "He's not that into you" kind of remarks? I don't know how to take it, especially since we have been intimate with one another. What do you think? Advise please! Reply to this Question

Men have a strong bond with their mothers, and you reminding him of her, and him actually telling you, means (as I see it) that he appreciates you and value you.

 Depends on his own feelings towards his mother. It could even be mean youre doin a good job at takin care of him. Do you have a problem about not having any problems? I wish that was all i had to worry about in my last relationship.

The next time you get a suitable opportunity ask him to tell you about his mother, what sort of person she was, which should remove any doubt.

 It's a compliment! If he adored his mum, it's one of the best compliments you'll ever get from a guy! Best of luck to you with the relationship, I hope you live happily ever after. :)
