Her Mom Crashed Her First Date And Gave The Guy The Third Degree, Causing Him To Make Up An Excuse And Leave
This young woman is 19-years-old and doesn’t believe she’s a very social person. She struggled with anxiety for a while, which is part of the reason why she hadn’t gone on a date since high school.
However, she recently met a new guy via some mutual friends, and they started texting for a few weeks. Afterward, she finally felt comfortable with the idea of going out with him.
While she was looking forward to her first date in two years, though, her mom totally ruined it.
She and her mother have always had a tumultuous relationship. Her mom is apparently extremely protective, and it makes her feel like she’s suffocating sometimes.
“Ever since I was a kid, she’s always wanted to know where I am, who I’m with, what I’m doing, and I get it: she’s a mom,” she explained.
“But sometimes it’s too much. Like, she’ll text me 10 times in a row if I don’t answer within five minutes.”
Anyway, she wound up telling her mom about the date, and in hindsight, she realizes that was a big mistake. Her mom suddenly seemed super excited and wouldn’t stop asking her all kinds of questions, such as what she planned to wear and where she and the guy were going.
Her mom also wanted to drop her off, yet she turned that down.
“Because I’m 19, and I think I can manage to get to a cafe on my own, thanks,” she reasoned.

Fast forward to the day of her date, and everything was going great. The guy was super sweet, and they were having a wonderful time together.
Then, about 30 minutes later, everything changed. She spotted her mom entering the cafe, and her mom proceeded to walk right over to her and the guy, sitting down at their table!
“I was mortified. My mom started making small talk with him, asking him where he was from and what his intentions were. She basically gave him the third degree right in front of me,” she revealed.
She couldn’t bear to even look at the guy. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. Her date seemed very uncomfortable as well, and about 10 minutes later, he came up with some excuse to leave.
Once the guy left, she didn’t hold back her rage, either, and totally flipped out on her mom. She claimed that her mom had no right to show up like that and sabotage her date.
“I was just making sure he was good enough for you. You should be grateful I care so much,” her mom replied.
She hasn’t been able to speak to her mom after what happened, and her dad accused her of overreacting. He also told her to apologize to her mom, who only loves her. Still, she feels like she can’t breathe in her own house.
“I’m so angry. I don’t know how to move past this,” she vented.
That’s why she has cut off her mother, and she’s wondering whether that’s so crazy or not.
Was her mom out of line for intruding? How would you have reacted in her shoes?
