It's getting me down a lot because I try to make friends but I just don't seem to click :(I've joined some online sites to meet a partner (my friend actually set it up when I split with my ex) however I am always so scared to meet someone. I might be I say I want to meet but never do.Part of the problem is my mum still tends to ask where I'm going and who I'm meeting. She is against all those sites so I would never tell her. Although i am close to my mum, I don't tell her about any guys I'm talking to. Just because she gets fixated on something that's not happened My thing is how do I go about this. I want to be able to just randomly decide to go out and meet folk but then I have the 20 questions from mum. I know she means well and i love her for it. But just sometimes, I wish I could disappear without the questions

 Do you live with your mother? If you do then maybe it is about time you got a place off your own and lived your life, you can then choose what to tell your mother and what not to.

I agree with the first person who answered. I'm over 40 and if I'm staying with my mother (or if she's staying with me) I get all the same questions.... Where are you going? Who are you going with? How are you getting there? What time will you be back?
I find it irksome sometimes but guess old habits die hard! I just answer the questions as best I can and try not to react like a teenager.
But if you hardly go out at all - perhaps you ought to set about improving your general social life before you start dating. Then you can ease your mother in more gradually if she's the hyper-anxious type about you going out in general.

Also there is nothing stopping you not telling her things. I think you are using her as a reason you can't go out-I bet she would be really sad to hear tha. Your in your twentys-nothing stopping you from moving out . Maybe you need to look into why you are scared to meet new people before you go on dating websites.
