Love: Very funny, Mom

Very funny, Mom

Today, my mother and I walked past my boyfriend, whom she's never met. After we casually greeted each other and went on our way, my mother said, "He's cute. Who is he?" I paused for a second and replied, "That's my boyfriend." She then said, "Does he know that?" FML

Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML

Today, my friend and I were at the mall and saw a "Grow Your Own Boyfriend" toy. I remarked that I already had one of those, and she freaked out, very loudly and openly, about me "finally having a boyfriend". I had to embarrassingly explain I meant I had the toy... not an actual boyfriend. FML

Well... Were you ashamed to introduce him or something? No wonder she'd ask if you guys were so cool to eachother.

if he was your boyfriend why did you just casually say hi and walk past?

What's with the FMLs lately? They're not FMLs, they're "My parents are funny".

I think you and your boyfriend handled that situation kinda strangely, not your Mother. Try to control your body language next time, so things don't go cold and awkward like that.

Well, maybe she was walking past him like on the escalators or something and they were just like "oh, hey." There's no point in them trying to jump across the escalator or something just to make out or whatever. And I agree, your mom was just being funny. Or she could have said it because sometimes when you see a cute guy (though its usually for celebrities) you're like "omg thats my husband" or something as a joke. So she might have just been like "really?"

I don't think it's weird at all. I'm assuming it was in public, and some people aren't comfortable getting all touchy-feely in public. Maybe they see each other in more private setting on a regular occasion and so a simple 'Hi' sufficed for now. It can take time to introduce your boyfriend to your parents. I know someone who was seeing a guy for about 5 months before their parents met them, so they might have been seeing each other for more than just a few weeks.
