It deepens on how old he is and if he is really really too old then just be cool friends. but this ball is in your court because you have to be careful not to lead him on. and if your mom says it's cool for you to date him then do so. but just know this there is alot that goes with dating a older guy, things you may not know of because life hasn't taken you to that stage of maturity be cautious

Ok- from experience. . .\n\n*Is this guy really worth it?\n  - do you like him\n  - is he even cute\n  - is he respectful\n\n*If your parents find out you're dating w/o their permission, you're dead.  So my advice is\n\n*ask your mom again\n\n*if she's says NO, she's got good reason.  parents aren't blind and they no what's best for you, even if you don't think so.

If she were older i'd consider it..but you might as well leave out the rich part. It's mainly women who are attracted to money.

If her mom is interested in you, Do her when your g/f is not around.  If you both like it, Cool.  If it doesn't work out, move on to fresh territory.

Very tough situation, I have a few question before I can answer clearly your question. Has the company that you two are involved in currently in operation and generating revenue? Have you completely explain your feelings for her?  Most men do not speak clearly to women when explaining things like this? Ages of you and her? Education of both? I know this sounds very trivial, but this information will help give you good advise to move forward.\nFYI- Been there, done that.

you are making care-full moves i hope you carry with it. As you said it would be too early. I would also opine in the same tone but it seems you are making some irresistible haste which will be waste, if you do not use your own brains. My personal opinion being "look before you leap" suggesting you to be cautious. Some great people say that "your heart should not rule your head"  because they have succeeded in their life by making proper moves at right time. Your age from your profile does not give you freedom to make your own choice on major decision's of life, even though you are major. In this particular episode if you are going to make a long time relationship you should take advice of your parents too. anyway life is yours these are my personal opinion so that you do not fall in a ditch and repent after wards. Net friendship should not be taken seriously until everything is tested first on net itself through cam's, voice chat etc. anyway best of luck.

From what you said, there is nothing 'wrong' with HIM.  The situation might be weird because of what others say about him or because of the parents being best friends, but HE sounds like a sweetie.  Base HIM on HIM.  Not much else.  It's like not shopping at your favorite store because you don't like the mall it's in..uh..sort of.  It's hard to find a decent guy, so I say go for it.  You already know he's nice.

I hurt with you. A lot of things should not be an issue, but they are in family situations. All four of our children are from different races than my wife and I. It took one side some time to get used to the idea and relearn what racism smells like.\nOur two oldest sons are Asian married/relating to white women. A little brag - the women's parents think our sons are such great material, they are thrilled. Thus:\nLesson 1: Only bring quality material home to mother. The girl will know how to handle her by praising and showing interest in your heritage.\nLesson 2: Show your own interest in your heritage so your mother will know her "life" will not be forgotten.\nLesson 3: This is neither new nor unique to you. Latino's and blacks, previously Roman Catholics and anyone else, my good Irish stock w/ English, in dating it was my lower middle class vs. upper class. Hang in there. You are helping make a new world.\nAt last.

In this case there isn't a clear-cut answer. A lot of it depends on your relationship with your mum and how old you are.\n\nIf you tell her, there is a very real risk in some cases of being outright forbidden to use the computer, use your mobile phone or meet people outside of school/college/work, if you're young enough.\n\nIf you don't tell her though, you might feel like you're hiding something from her and your boyfriend may have a problem with it. Though if the relationship got serious, she'd proberly figure out something is amiss eventually.\n\nIf he's met your mum before and made a good impression, it might be best to admit it only after they're met a few times. Otherwise she'll go into auto-'all men on the internet are perverts and rapists' mode. Though I imagine she'd still be angry either way.

Tell him that if he really wanted to "just get to know" them it is inappropriate to discuss his financial and living situations. Tell him if his intentions are good to meet in neutral area like having lunch with her in a public place where they can ask each other questions etc.\n\nMaybe his intentions are good, but like you I would be sceptical. It sounds to me he is too much like his father.

If the two of you are truly in love than it should be no problem for the two of you to continue as you are for one more year until you are of a legal age to do as you please. Your mom is just trying to protect you. It's her job. Don't fight it. Spend this year enjoying each other's company and growing closer together as a couple. Then, when you're 18, ask for your mother's blessing. I understand the urge to rush out into this wonderful new life (speaking from experience) but as a couple you should honor your mother wishes and just wait it out. One year out of a lifetime of happiness will be a drop in the bucket.

I'd be careful. If you know her well enough to talk about family then its probably OK, if not overdone.

well hon I'd say mom is just a bit leery of her little boy dating someone. Most moms are not gonna be overly excited about the prospects of their baby dating seriously.  Try a couple of different things, find out what she is really interested in and try to conversate with her about these things, show an interest in her and not just her son and maybe she will take to you on that point. And finally dress conservatively, if she gets the wrong impression of you by the way you dress then she's not likely to accept you at all.  You could also try talking to her about it, see what her comfort levels are, my MIL is really quiet by nature so it's not me necessarily it's just she isn't comfy talking period.

I think your mother is wrong to make you decide this based solely on racial differences. If this guy treats you good and is a respectable then your mother should put her bigotry aside.

Well, age really isn't important.  If the man is nice then who cares?  How old is your mom?  It really shouldn't matter.  Much more important is his integrity.

If you are in business together then I believe that you will be treated as equal partners in law (just because there's no written agreement it doesn't mean there isn't a legal partnership) and she would have as much right as you to make any business decisions.\n\nIf you think that she is acting against the interests of the partnership your best course of action would be to consult a soliciitor
