Months after getting my heart broken by a guy, a new guy is willing to the movies with me, something huge in my book, I go to tell my mom since I’m very excited but her reaction was “oh, another asshole you are going to date”
It crushed me, my first positive emotions in a while and she just spoiled them. Now im afraid that the date will go wrong and that the guy is not really interested.
Hi Svtempus,
Your excitement brings a smile to my face. Nothing wrong with having a date. Go ahead and enjoy it with no expectations (on your part or his)...it's a first date, so move slowly.
I think your mom has seen your heart broken and she has seen how you struggle. No mom wants that for her child. She feels your pain. She feels that you tend to attract mister wrong.
Maybe you should consider being more selective about the guys you allow into your life. Think about your dating history. Do you see a pattern? Do guys take advantage of you? Do you go overboard to please them? If so, work on building your self-esteem. You are worth it.
Blessings
If you're not putting words in your mom's mouth....then her response isn't surprising.
You know the anxiety as to whether the date / the guy will turn out all right is just in your head...right ? You'll never know until you go through with it.
I'm so sorry your mom wasn't more supportive. It is fun and exciting to meet someone new. I don't think the new guy deserves to be held responsible for what someone did in the past. Keep an open mind and get to know him. I would always proceed with caution and extend trust to someone only as they earn it. Good Luck!
Slowly losing faith again…
