So I have liked this guy I go to church with since Dec.  We have been talking and some what flirting the past few months.  People within the church kept saying they would talk to him but I kept saying for them to stay out of it and let whatever happens happen.  This includes a mutual friend of ours who talks to him alot about how good of a woman I am and how he needs to open his eyes to that...well he did.  We are going out next Saturday. 
 
The thing is my mom knows all this of course.  Well he and I have been txting of course and she knows he was on vacation this past week and comes home today so he will be in church tomorrow.  She left him a note saying welcome home love D. and Jenn.  Which normally that would be fine and dandy, BUUUUUUUT i have had guys in the past tell me that my mom gets involved too much (remember Todd's reason for nopt wanting to marry me).  I see that happening already.  I love my mom dearly but I dont want her to be too involved in my relationship with T.  She can come off a little strong and I dont want it to idk chase him off or anything know what I mean.  I know if we start dating she is going to want his number (in case of emergancies) but at the same time I know if she has it she will txt him too (she has done this in the past with Todd, Lee).  I dont want her to do that, least not when the relationship is in the beginning stages when we are taking things sloooooow.  I mean it took us 3 months of flirting to get a first date.
 
I dont know how to tell her to back down without hurting her feelings.  I want this relationship to go the way I want it to go, slow and steady.  Without her sending msgs or anything.  I mean I know she likes him and what not and she wants us to work out and is excited for me, but at the same time she has chased guys away and I soooo dont want that to happen again.  what can I do?

    Well, sometimes you have to do the things you don't want to, which might mean just telling your mom 'no', whether she likes it or not.   I mean, if you let her keep at it, you'll be sacrificing your own potential happiness and that's not fair either.  Although, I'd first recommend speaking to her calmly about it.  She's got to realize you need to have your own space and do things on your own at some point, she can't always hold your hand.  Best of luck.  (((HUGS)))

    yes, you have to tell your mom that texting the boy you're dating is going too far.
    and it IS too far.

    Hege:  I think since the cancer she tries more to hold my hand as you said.  I mentioned to her a Marine who wanted to date me when he came home (he's deployed kinda like pen pals right now) and she asked my friend who's in the army to do a background check on him.  I think the hardest is that I am still living at home so I think she feels she has the right to know and do what she wants.  But um i'm 27....oy

    Secret:  There have been times when I told her to not msg the guy I'm dating I did that when I dated Lee, but she still did it.  Well he txted her too, so I cant be too upset about that.  But I dont want things with T. to not work because of my mom....and like I said guys have ended things with me because of her.  I am hoping he knows what she is like and wont hold that against me..he's a decent enough guy I dont think he will, but there is still that fear.

    PLEASE NEVER COME OFF AS DESPIRATE OR NEEDY. Friends blabbing about you can look put on to a guy. Maybe not this guy, but to many it would. Your personality speaks for its self!
