Today, I overheard my mother Skyping with her new "boyfriend" about the $1,000 she just sent him. She barely knew what internet dating was three weeks ago. FML

Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML

If it was for a good reason makes sense otherwise she needs to keep track of where things go...

Never send money online to someone you just met. No matter what. Obviously they're just scamming you.

Not good OP maybe you should talk to her about this I don't want to see you guys lose money because of this person.

Yeah....you may want to educate her about the Nigerian dating scam. It's happened through match.com and others.

This fml would be perfect if your mom ended up on Catfish.

I find this FML was worded oddly, it's kind of unclear whether the issue is about the money or the mom having an Internet "boyfriend". The username makes it pretty obvious, but I feel like the last line seems to emphasize that the issue is her mom being new to internet dating. It would be more clear if it said something about needing that $1000 for rent, if the main issue is really about the money.
