how can i go about telling this to my mom? i live on my own already and i know that i don’t need anyones permission for anything at this state but it’s just that i’ll feel much better if she knows it. i never had a boyfriend before so i don’t know how this whole telling to parents thing goes and i guess she thinks that’s because i’m virtuous or something like that while the reason i never had a boyfriend was because i never had the time and interest. please help me. this is awfully awkward for me.

Don’t tell her about him, just introduce them in a social gathering like church, or a picnic. That’s what I did because my mom is one of those strict moms. She would have thrown a ‘Kimora’ fit if we were alone when I told her. So I ambushed her in a public place with an audience where she couldn’t blow off, by the time we got home she was over it and ready to talk like sane adults.
Moms may be a bit skeptical especially if you waited until 22 to have your first boyfriend. But it can happen, especially for those really centered on completing school or starting a career first, If this is the case, just explain to her there really was no rush to settle down to a boyfriend in the past, and this guy you really like has noe happened into your life, and you have a great feeling about him as the one to have your first serious relationship with.
At 22 most parents would EXPECT you to have a boyfriend, so what is the problem.
No one these days expects a girl to be `virtuous` at age 22.
So tell her, and she will probably say something like `I was wondering when you were gonna get yourself a boyfriend`
Just tell her. You are 22. Clearly capable of making decisions and being adult if you are living on your own. Tell about it yourself first then bring him along the next time and introduce him.
If you live close I would recommend telling her in person. If not then do it through a phone call as opposed to a text or email.
If he makes you happy and treats you right then she should be happy for you.
I don’t think you should be afraid to tell,her you’re more than old enough to have a boyfriend so you shouldn’t feel strange about telling her. Honestly, I think if you tell her, she won’t be that surprised.

dont say this. I know you might be earning but dont forget your manners. Your parents might be hurt. Ok if you are serious about this boy then say your mom about him. Just like you wann to marry him. But this things,hey mom wassup i have bf,does it sound cool…?
Just say I have a boyfriend and he gives me what I need to make me happy.
I would say go over her house, and say “Mom, guess what!” then when she asks what, just tell her! Be simple! 🙂
“I dating a guy you will LOVE!!!!” (you)
“O.K. lets meet him.” (mom)
(shows up next night and proposes to you)
Works every time!!!!
