scythe agony auntHey honey,

I just went through something very similar, you can read my question and the responses here:

http://www.dearcupid.org/question/i-have-met-this-great-guy-but-i.html

I think you can meet him first without telling your Mom, but if you are going to see him again, you should tell her. She will be happier that you told her rather than go behind her back. It's easier just to come out and say "I'm going on a date with this guy" and then take it from there. Make sure you don't get angry or upset when talking to her about him. Just be mature and answer her questions and explain why you want to see him. She should be happy with that.

Maybe wait until she comes home from Spain to tell her. Otherwise it might make her worry too much and spoil her holiday.

And make sure you enjoy yourself! Dating isn't meant to be a hassle, its meant to be fun :)

Take care

lil-angel182 agony auntthanks for all your advice and think i will go meet him, in a popular place of course, and see how things go then talk to my mum. Should I wait till she gets back from Spain to tell her or tell her while she's there?

lil-angel182 agony auntThanks for the advice and i think am going to follow it, the only thing is i know my mum likes me to be honest with her and if i then said i had been seeing someone i think it would make her angry at me for not telling her and not being honest and how would i go about telling her that i had been seeing someone??
