Do you see anything strange about a young man going to the prom with his mother.  He has turned down dates.?

This should be analyzed by a professional and my biased opinion shall remain "between the lines" of this response.  There is no question about it and this woman should be ashamed of herself as well as the son.  It should be ILLEGAL to take your son to his prom.................LOA!

No, you should not ask him out.  Go read a book get your minds off these almost grown men.  I think it's time you had a little talk with your mother.

If you don't ask her anytime soon, someone else is going to and she'll say yes. What's worse than being rejected? She waiting for you to ask her but thought you wouldn't and ended up with another date. Go up to her and ask her if anyone has asked her to the prom then ask her if she'll go with you. Worry too much about being rejected and you won't get the girl.

going to the prom is not as important as ur future , coz right now ur future lies in what studies ur going to do. u r being indecisive if u don't know which college u want to go, try to gather information, it is crucial for ur life.

Don't tell her. You're only 17 the chances of you and this guy being together beyond HS are slim to none. Why go thru an unneccessary battle with your mom now? Wait until you're own your own and have a new boyfriend.

I cant tell you mine, but heres a shorty for my mom.\n\nMy mom started working at this warehouse driving forklift. She has been in and out of quiet a few relationships since she got this job. And there was a guy that had a huge crush on my mom. A full grown male with a crush, can you believe it. Anyways, he had a crush on my mom for two years and never had the guts to tell her how he felt. \n\nWell, my mom went into work and left people know that she was moving and would be looking for a new job. The thing is, she was already engaged to some other guy on the border of NY and PA. She thought that she loved him and that he was the one. They actually ended up breaking up later.\n\nThe guy from her work finally confessed in a love letter to my mom how much he really likes her and that he has had a major crush on her for two years. They started dating and things were going great. I think she has only been with him for about three years now. But they went out for the weekend to Busch Gardens and he purposed to my mom in the rain at a zoo. She thought it was so sweet. She said yes, an they got married two weeks ago.\n\n(To be honest I dont really like the guy, but he is my stepfather now so I guess I will have to try to learn to like him. He is the quiet and cranky type. The thing that bothers me the most is that his family owns a bar, and my mom said he wouldnt marry another alcoholic. Will see what happens though. This guy does like to drink, but not to the point where he gets drunk every weekend.)

i don't think anything about this situation is wrong. i personally didn't ever turn down anyone who asked me out before i was married because you never know what kinds of amazing people you might meet. so she said yes and now she doesn't like him. happens all the time. however, i wouldn't let him know that she went out with him just because she felt sorry for him. have her tell him that she just isn't feeling him.

Perhaps you could ask her indirectly. Carefully crafted words are the key here to achieving your desired goal.....having a boyfriend. Okay, step 1) find a time when you and your mother are relaxing, no phones, dinner is finished, house is clean. 2) Begin the conversation like this: "You know Mom, I am now ___ years old, and I was wondering if you would allow me to go to the movies with _____________. I know you have not had an opportunity to meet ________, but I can invite him by the house on _________. He is a really nice guy. Now, if you do not have a boyfriend, and no prospects, then I would suggest that you address your mother in this manner: Mom, I have really matured over the last year and I would like to respectfully request permission from you to go on a date occassionally with a carefully selected boy that I will bring home first for you to meet.  Don't be shy about it. Be assertive, without being pushy. Tell her what your heart desires, and do it in a kind, courteous, confident and mature manner. The way you approach this request to have a boyfriend is important. You have to let your mother know that you are ready for this big step in your young teenage life. \nNow, be honest in your evaluation of yourself here okay? Think! Really think here! And answer my question truthfully! Question: Have you been on your best behavior over the last year? Have you done everything that has been asked of you by your mother? Have you gotten into any serious trouble lately? Did you make good grades and behave appropriately in school? These questions are important, because if you have been cutting up and acting like a trifling little hoochie mama, it is highly likely that your mother will say no. But if you have been a perfect angel, and behaved appropriately over the last year, then I dont see any reason that your mother will not agree to your terms. Also, let her know that any boy you meet, you will bring them home to meet her, and your curfew is 9p.m. weeknights and 10:30 on weekends. Or, if your curfew is later than this, use your current curfew. Well, I hope this helps. Best wishes to you. And have fun.

I believe you should relax and just enjoy your life. It is not everyday you get to go to prom.

It sounds like he isnt very mature- you should talk to your mom and let you know how you feel. It is possible he twisted the story to make himself look better and that isnt right. I cant really say because one of my ex's used to do the same thing and my mother would never side with him unless she heard my side first. I'm her daughter and she wouldnt betray me like that. I think they both have issues. Talk to her.

tough question!\n\nokay, let's get creative, any "normal" answer is going to hurt the first guy's feelings...\n\nthe way that seems like it would have the best results is to be totally honest with both guys and your parents, and try to keep EVERYONE happy.\n\nokay, been there, done that with having the parents who wouldn't let me date.  and only go to the prom in a group.\n\njust by the way you asked the question shows a lot of integrity, your parents should be happy, and the boy you like and the boy who would be "just a friend" should all think you're pretty cool...\n\nbefore i thought of suggesting what i'll write in the next paragraph i read your other posts to see if there's anything in there which would get you in trouble with your parents... if i was your parents, i would be proud of your level of self-control and willingness to say "no" and stick up for yourself...\n\nmy wacky solution... just print out this thread and show it to your parents and both boys... tell the 2nd boy that his prom is as "just friends", the first boy should be reassured that you care as much as you do for his feelings.  or... if you're old enough to invite the first boy to your prom, make a deal with your parents that you'll be home early, and go with him.  or if his (#1's) prom is after yours, go with him to his and be back early, and keep your existing arrangements.\n\nmom and dad... it's kind of a privacy thing, she probably wouldn't want you to read her other posts, but you have a good daughter, she obviously cares what you think, and she's trustworthy, and knows how to stay out of trouble : )\n\nor just don't go to the prom.  : (

Honestly, this situation sounds rhetorical in that her parents have enough control to not allow her to go to a prom but not enough control to prevent her from moving out while still in high school. In any case, my suggestion is to be her friend and let her know precisely how you feel about the situation but that you will still support her, right or wrong, as long as she is willing to accept ALL the consequences of her actions.

You might want to really consider a relationship with this person.  That he dated your mother, previously, and now that you are dating him, makes for situation in which he has to operate with some deception.  I wouldn't worry if he was straightforward with you but given that you suspect he lied to you and you haven't discussed this with him, you're relationship might be in trouble.  If you aren't able to communicate to him freely and he with you, then you will need to reconsider your relationship.  Is he lying to you?  Most likely he is, but you have to ask him yourself. Consider the state of your communications in your relationship and consider his answer to your suspicions.  It will tell.  If he comes clean then its ok.  If not, then you might want to consider other options before getting more involved.  Good luck, cheers!

This really seems horrible for you. How about asking your mom to go to the movies with friends and tell a boy to go also and sneak out to go to his house and then return to your house later, making sure that your parents don't find out about it.

Guys are often kinda slow on matters of social etiquette and especially when it comes to relationships. They are often so afraid of saying or doing the "wrong" thing that they don't act at all. Sometimes this makes the girl feel left out or ignored. Please don't be offended by his neglect, he is probably confused as to what to do. Give him some help by gently letting him know that you think it might be cool to meet his mom. Hope I helped. Us guys Can be a bit backwards at times.
