We all know that mother's only want the best for their children. But why is it that mom's in this day and age are obsessed with thinking the worst of their daughters when they come to realize that if they're in their late 20's and aren't settled down, they automatically think the worst.
Just because I haven't had a real boyfriend since... well, whatever -- I've had one, okay -- doesn't mean that I'm a lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Just because all my friends are getting married and I'm the drunk one at their wedding, doesn't mean that I'm going to be a spinster. And just because I'm on birth control doesn't mean that I'm a slut. It does many other things besides prevent you from getting pregnant!
Let's face it, I would rather my mom just not know about my love life and have her think the absolute worst of me, than to actually tell her that I have a boyfriend and have her interrogate me about him, only to break up with him the following week which in turn, will make you feel even worse about yourself than you already do. Unfortunately, most mom's just aren't 'cool mom's' and don't understand that this isn't the 1900's anymore; the rules of dating have changed.
Since when did mother’s turn into those high school mean girls who used to spread rumors that you were gay because you dressed weird?

My advice: get bigger problems than a lack of love life. Be unemployed, get arrested, etc. Bigger and better things for your mom to worry about...
I totally relate to this... I don't think my parents think I'm a lesbian just yet, but I would way rather just not say anything than be harrassed about it like you said. The dating world really is wayyy different than they knew it and sometimes it's just not worth it trying to explain it.
My stepmom used to be so bad about this. Before I met my husband, she changed her ringtone to me to, "Someday My Prince Will Come" from Sleeping Beauty. God that pissed me off! When she asked about my love life, I just started telling her I date a new guy every night. Shut her up for awhile. ;-)
I disagree , Not all the time is not telling your mom is that great. My mom is wonderful and i don't agree !!!! Your mom will always want the best for you. At least that is what I think. Every mom wants there daughter to be happy. And most of the time we do all meet our PRINCE !!!
Good Luck
