A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for a while now. He is really great, and I love him. The only problem is our age difference. I have no problem with it, I think age is just a number when it comes to love. But my mom thinks otherwise. My mom does not know who my boyfriend is. She does not even know I have a boyfriend. I think it's time for her to know who he is. I know for a fact that she won't like him because of his age. But if she really knew him, and his personality, she would love him. My mom wants the best for me, and I think the best has already arrived. She is very picky when it comes to the boys I date. How do I get her to know him, and like him? I also don't want her to find out I kept him from her. Please Help!

well all you have to do is tell your mom you just got a new boyfriend and you want her to meet him. It doesn't really matter of the age it matters how you feel about him and your mom can't take those feelings away

sappygirl agony auntYour mom has every right to be concern because you are still underage. She is just being a MOM and trying to protect her daughter. She loves you.

You did not mention his age..so i'm guessing in his twenties. Either case..age is only a number, but if a guy is willing to date minor. It says a lot about him.

Decent men will wait til the girl is a little older. Also how can the "best has already arrived" You are only 16 or 17. Take your time. there is NO rush to get so serious. At your age. You need to experiment and Have fun with dating. Weed out the good guys from the bad. It's so easy to run with emotions ..and follow your heart. But take a look at your mom's point of view. One day you will understand when you have your own children.

yourdesire26 agony auntI agree with you that if your in love age is just a number when it comes to love. my mom wouldnt approve of who i am dating either and she doesnt know. so i know what your going through. maybe you should talk it over with your boyfriend and ask him what you should do or have him talk to your mom like my boyfriend said he would. i hope everything works out. how much is the age difference. if you want to reply to my question it would help me out to.

Does he have a younger sibling because you could then ask your mother to have the whole family around for dinner without her knowing you are going out with him and she will get to know him and then she will be able to see what a great guy he is... If he doesn't how bout you say he's tutoring you for something, and so he has to come over and she will get to know him that way... :/ tricky... Hope it all works out for you.xx :)
