Mama's Boy
You know him. He probably wears sweater vests and may have a fishy handshake (nothing worse than a man with a loose grip). While it’s always good to have a guy who has a loving relationship with his mom, his is just a little too much to take. He lets her boss him around – if he wants to spend a weekend with you by the beach but she says he has to help her with something, he’s in her driveway in an hour flat! My experience with Mama’s Boy went something like this… His mom called three times on the first date. Across the table, I actually heard her loud voice, grilling him about me, asking if my parents were still together… and what I was wearing!. He referred to her as “mother” (he wasn’t British). He actually showed me a photo of her on his phone. Is it me or is that odd? I don’t know why but I decided to give him a second date. “He’s nice,” I told myself, “he’s cute.” It was date 2 when I realized “mother” would be a problem. She called again – multiple times – and he referred to her as “sweetie.” Eiw. Somewhere between his telling me that he’s a lawyer because “mother thought he’d be good at it” and the spa weekend they were doing, I got the horrible feeling that if we were walking down a dark alley and someone attacked us, I’d be the one defending us (and he’d call mother on the spot)! I can’t go out with a guy whose butt I can kick!
Mwah!
