How to get my mom to like my boyfriend?
Okay, so my mom doesn't like my new boyfriend at all. but she does have some reasons. Im a sophomore, and he's a senior. BUT he's 17 and turning 18 in june and I'm 16 but will be 17 in november. Thats not her problem though. she saw his twitter and doesn't like how he acts on there. Swears a lot, gets in "twitter fights", one with my ex boyfriend, and some tweets that only kids our age would get he joke. And what makes things even worse, i wanted to go to the movies with him, but i knew my mom wouldn't approve, so i lied to her saying i was going with my friend and her mom, that friend was going, but with one my bf's friends, so it wasn't a complete lie, but i know what i did was wrong. but me and mother have gotten in quiet a few fights sense i lied that night, she caught me and we never ended up going. but now my bf keeps saying my mom hates him and that she will never like him. How can i get her to like him? what are some things he can do to make her like him? she keeps saying first impressions mean a lot, but she took his first impression off of twitter, and nobody is who they are on twitter.
I really like this guy and i want my mom to too.
But she says i can't hang out with him until she meets him and begins to like him. so how can this happen???
PLEASE HELP
best answer gets 10 points(:

Set up a time for the two of them to meet in person and talk.

Look, if this guy wants to behave this way, (on twitter, or in the real world), he should be able to defend, or at least apologize for his behavior.
Even worse, you lied defending him, your boyfriend needs to he's not the center of your mother's universe....but she's concerned that you lied for him.

Your mom is being very reasonable, she's giving him the opportunity to plead his case, is he a good guy, that will respect you, or a criminal in process? Will he help your development, or encourage you to the path of the dark side?
If he lacks the strength of character to speak with you mom, and show her he's a person of substance, worthy to be with her daughter, then I'd agree with her, you have no business being with him at all.

When you're 18, you get to make all these choices yourself, right now, she's still there to help and protect you, you're lucky to have a mom that cares that much.


Luck
