"There is this guy that I dated about two years ago. We didn&amp;#039;t talk for a while, and now we started talking again. His mom is very protective of him and doesn&amp;#039;t like him to date. The other day I was talking to him on the phone and his mom walked in and asked him whom he was talking to. He said another girl&amp;#039;s name instead so he could talk. Then, when we did go on a date I had to meet her. At first she was really nice, but then she asked me my age and when my birthday was. Should I put up with this or just let him go. I like him, but his mom makes me have second thoughts. Under the Microscope A: Am I missing something? She was nice to you, but when she asked your age you started to question whether or not you wanted to see him? You think it&amp;#039;s horrible of her to want to know about the person her son is dating? This does not compute.   Also, there&amp;#039;s something strange about the fact that he felt the need to lie to her, saying that he was talking to another girl. That tells me that she has a problem with you, but not with other girls. You two used to date and then you didn&amp;#039;t speak for a long time. Maybe he was hurt when your relationship ended and his mom doesn&amp;#039;t want to see him go down that road again.   She&amp;#039;s his mom and, until he&amp;#039;s out on his own, paying his own bills, she has a right to get involved in his life. If you want to be in his life, you have to accept her. So smile and answer her questions as nicely as possible. Ease her mind so she can stop worrying so much. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
