I know a lot of people that tells their moms all about their love life. Whether it's a cute guy she has in Bio class, her long time crush, crush for the principal (lol, I've had this case before) or actual boyfriend, they dish it out to their mom.

How many of you here actually tells their mom about their love life though?

My mom .. sheesh, she'd strangle me if I told her that I have a boyfriend .. *sigh* She's such a typical asian parent, lol. But either way even if she didn't care I wouldn't tell her .. It's too awkward for me.

I tell my mom about the cute guy i used to see
in the hallways that i had a small crush on him.
Yesterday i told my mom about the cute guy i
see everyday at bio. My mom just smiles at me
asking me how cute he is, she doesnt let me have
a boyfriend though.

Besides the fact that they are cute, i tell them about
the cute guys so my parents wont suspect me of
having a boyfriend :X

i wish i could tell my mom. but she'd kill me D;

though, if i find a celebrity hot/cute then yes, i do tell her.
but real life guys that i find attractive, i don't.

LOL not at all...I know a lot of people who tell their mothers everything that happens in their love life and they form a really close bond over that. I actually really envy that.

Because of the language barrier it's too hard to explain anything at all. Stuff to do with emotions, and relationships use more complex English and she won't be able to understand, nor will I be able to explain myself in Chinese.

So yeah she knows very little about my love life because I can't communicate it to her, like a lot of things. She just forms assumptions in her head (like if I go out and stay out late she thinks I'm with a new boyfriend or something) and I just correct them, with brief, simple responses.

No. It's weird and she teases me. She treats me like a little girl and goes "Aww" and it's annoying.
My mom knows about my sister's crush and she always teases her and sometimes bring him up
whenever they're arguing even though it's irrelevant to the topic. I don't want to be like that so I don't
tell her anything.

i tried, but she just blew it off as a joke T.T

Nah, she still doesn't even know that I dated a couple of guys five to six years ago. It's not that she would have been mad or anything--actually, she'd probably jump for joy if I told her I was seeing someone right now and ask me a million questions--but I just never felt like telling her and she never even noticed at the time. Back then we didn't have as great of a relationship and I was pretty private in general even with most of my friends and my parents (I didn't tell anyone when I liked a guy), and at this point I don't really see any reason to tell her when it's not like they were long-term or serious relationships, anyway, not to mention she'd probably just feel hurt that I never said anything before.

I'd probably tell her if I started going out with someone now, but only if she asked, so she'd probably only find out well after it started, and I doubt I'd tell her a whole lot of details. It's probably typical for parents to not know a ton of details about their kids' relationships in college and beyond, anyway.

No. She'd probably kill me.
I tease her sometimes though, I show him a picture of a guy and say 'isn't he cute?' and she glares at me.

I tell my dad instead. Not in detail.
I tell him and he just says a few words and that's it.

I tell my mom the basic stuff, never really detailed stuff. She knows I have a boyfriend, she's met him. I tell her stories of what happened between us, just like fun stupid stuff we talk about once in a while. I've even told her about some problems we were having. On the other hand, my boyfriend is soooo open with both his parents. They basically know a lot about him and my relationship.

sometimes i talk to her about someone i like. i don't do it much though - sometimes it gets awkward haha. i don't really go into detail - just something simple. most of the time she can tell when i like someone though because they tend to come up in conversation a lot. why must i be so obvious....

anyway, i'm pretty close to my mom and i talk to her about love/relationships in general. just not much about me and my crushes (never had a boyfriend, so yeah. that aspect isn't applicable to me).

Heck no I don't. Imagine what she'll do to me! D:
It's scary... okay, I haven't tried, so I don't know how she will react.
I'm pretty sure she'll be like, "WHAT?!?!?"

I don't tell my mom but she eventually finds out if she constantly sees me hanging out with the same guy over and over. She would nag about one of my current guy friend (we use to have a thing for each other), saying things like, "Oh why were you so mean to him.. why does he not come over anymore" -____- like jeeze, it's how I flirted with him lol but she does not get my concept of flirting since I like the "play hard to get, hitting" thing but yeah she just finds out about my "love life" on her own and we'll sometimes talk about it then she goes into talks about marriages -___- which is a way different story.

well when i was in highschool she kinda figured it out since she picked me up in school and noticed the boy i had a crush on. i remember her saying, 'hey its the boy you like! he's looking here' It was funny and embarrassing. Before I entered my first relationship, I told her about it since I disliked hiding things like that you know if you have a bf and stuff. She gave me advice but was all right with it. I don' tell her everything just minor stuff.

Haha, I don't tell my mom much. Occasionally when she asks if there's any guy out there that I like, etc etc.
But I just tell her about some cute guys I see but that's it.
And if I had a boyfriend I wouldn't be able to tell her because she'd go apesh!t on me.

no.
even with my dad.
i feel weird and kinda awkward....they'll be shock even if i ONLY like someone...what more if i have a boyfriend...
*sigh*
when i get a boyfriend in the future, i'll probably tell them when i'm already around 20+ but for now, i keep my lovelife a secret...teehee

I pretty much don't tell my mom anything...unless it's medical/health related. I mean, I know she's there to listen and understand but I haven't encounter anything problematic when it comes to love and relationships yet. I've never had a boyfriend either, and never in my life will I tell her who my crushes are. But nonetheless, I love her. Haha. One day I'll talk to her about this stuff though.

Haha I do... sometimes just out of random.
My mom tells me that when she was my age even she never told her mom (my grandma) about her relationships.
My dad even agrees.

Um..that's one of the last thing I would want my mom to know about..eheh.
I mean she teases me enough by saying stuff like: "Oooh~you have a bf right!?"
"Your buying that to show off to your bf??"
Oh geez...I can't imagine what it would be like if I ever tell her I have a bf o_o;

lately I've been trying to do the 'communication' thing with my mom ;D
I tell her everything. No secrets, no lies. So when I told her about this guy I like, she was okay with it. That's good, right? (:

omg no.... that would just be the most awkwardest thing ever

plus i don't even have a love life hahaha

HECK NAH.
It's not that big of a deal but I don't like publicizing stuff like that. Whenever I tell my mom anything, she always tells my dad or it ends up being some story. You know how some Asian parents are...they live their life through their kids and voice their kids' accomplishments and other stuff to other parents. If I told my mom, my dad would know about it the next day and who knows how long it would take my other relatives to know. My parents are cool about dating and boyfriends but I'd rather wait a few weeks before telling them and even then I'd keep it at a minimum, only telling them major details not the nitty gritty stuff. I prefer to keep that kind of thing to myself.

I don't talk to my mom a lot. She works seven days a week. I wake up shes sleeping. I got home shes at work so its hard to talk. Beside my mom is soooo weird I swear If I say something bout a vute guy she will assume that I have a bf and like kajfjdshfsjhfkshfskdjlakdj You can't have a bf ur 16 stupid ! john tesh my parents annoy the mini cooper OUTTA ME!

I wish I could. ):
My mom: "NO BOYFRIEND" "NO MARRY"
She doesn't want me to get a boyfriend or marry cause she went through a divorce and doesn't want me to get married and go through what she did, but seriously, why can't I fall in love like other people T__T Am I suppose to die alone?!
I'm soooo jealous of girls who are close with their mom.

It'll be too awkward and weird, she'll tease me D:

I told my mom when boys asked me out and asked her for help on the best way to reject them...>__>;;; lol.
I am okay with telling my mom. My parents didn't want me to date in hs so i just didn't. Even if i did i don't think they would freak out. They "offically" allowed me to date last year, freshmen in college. They just freak out over grades.

I just tell my sister EVERYTHING. pretty much she has to listen even if she is busy. hahaha.

yeah, the appropriate stuff.
when i tell mom a guy kissed me she goes "OoOoOoOO did you see you butterflies?"

i used to think it was extremely awkward to mention anything remotely related to the subject of guys to my mum, despite all my close friends being males. but now that i'm older, i don't see why i should feel embarrassed by it (and i actually have interesting stories to tell her now, too!) of course, i'm not going to go into deep details but just let her have a general idea of how my love life is going. and it's good that we've come to a mutual agreement that i'll tell her what i want to tell her, and she can't interrogate me for more info.

Not when I was in high school LOL she'd go nuts!

But now that I have a boyfriend its our bonding time =/ rofl

Hehe, i guess i do ;D
I'm really close to my parents i tell'em both.

i can talk with my mom for hours about anything (too a certain point) But love-life no problem
Hehe even to my dad, but he often brings my crush up to tease me "-.-

yea.......i summarize it for her. but she wouldnt know about a relationship until its ended though. but she would have suspicions if i was in one but never asks. i would change my number and she wouldnt ask about it either but she knows whats up. yea i love her

Noooooooo. Just No. Too awkward and if I told them I liked a dude they'd be like "NO FOCUS ON SCHOOL! NOT BOYS!" ahahaha.

It depends...not really.
When it's getting serious enough, I do (I tell my parents, not only my mother).
But I like to keeps things for myself, it's my own life we're talking about and everybody need at least a little privacy.

Er.. no. It's too awkward. We're not really close like that.

I once told my mom and my dad heard me . ><
My mom was okay with it but my dad told me
to pay more attention in school then boys. ):
D: Ahh~ it was akward.

My mom is the type of person I can go to for anything!
She is super supportive and understanding.
As for the subject of love, initially I felt uncomfortable telling her; although I know that I could.
It was a break up between my ex and I that made me open up to my mom is that area (my love life)
She saw me crying, and was there to comfort me.

I use to tell her everything except about my love life, but now I truly do tell her everything and anything.

well the first time i had a bf...for the first few months i hid it from her, or denied it. She knew I was dating but I kept on denying until I told her one day after shopping with her. She wasnt surprised when I told her but I knew that she was a bit upset, though she didnt say it out loud. Well, when we did break up my mom was there for me all the time and dealt with my constant attitudes (it was a pretty harsh time)...But when i started my 2nd relationship, I didnt tell her about at first but one day when I sat down with her, & told her about it. She just calmly said that she already knew.
My mom also knows that my bf had had a rough time these past 2 years and she is supportive of not only me but him..She would bring meals for him and I when he's back home and I'm out of school. But even still, I am still hiding things from her and I guess its because I dont want her to be disappointed in me. (& partiallly because I'm embarassed)
But overall I could joke with my mom about things that me and my bf do... like "guess what mami? im going to go on a date with JJ to that your favorite restaurant haha" and she'll respond with a jealous look. lol
i treat my mom sometimes as real frd =]

I only tell her the basics because she'll get even more worked up than me if I have a fight with my boyfriend or when we break up. She gets more upset than I do and she won't stop pinkberrying about him and telling me I can do better etc etc..I know she's right, but it kind of upsets me when I'm trying to forget.

When I told her I broke up with my ex, she wouldn't stop hounding me and asking me why why why???? soo...I don't like to go into too much detail.

No, because when I tell her something, suddenly, all of my relatives know. She really likes to pry into my love life. She always asks me, "Do you have a boyfriend?" or "Does any boys like you right now?"

My mom's cool and all, and I tell her basic stuff, but not TMI. Nothing sexual, or anything like that. She probably wouldn't wanna know anyways.

NO!.. My mom will tease me and bombard me with questions!
& assume I`m doing stuff if I don`t answer her. I think you can guess what kind of questions they are and then she`d tell everyone she can.

When I lived with her, if I would stay out all night without telling her where I was.. she would assume I`m doing stuff with a boy. :\

as for my dad.. I`ve never even thought about telling him stuff when he told me that if he saw boys going after me... he`d be fighting them off with a baseball bat. lul.. I`m scared to bring any male to my dad`s house.. unless they deserve it. : )


AHAHAHAHA, AWWWWW. This is sooooo cute!
My mom would ask me WHY I did.

when i was younger and my mom was like "no boyfriends till you're out of school" i didn't tell her much. there wasn't much to tell anyways, but if i thought i boy was cute or something in my class i wouldn't tell her. now that i'm older my mom kinda loosened up a bit with the whole boyfriend situation. she's like just tell me anything and that made me more comfortable. though there hasn't been much of a boy in my life at this point, when one does come by i'm sure to tell my mom. i'm kinda glad that i'm at this comfort level with my mom.

I would only tell her the general gist of whats going on if she asks.

Like who he is, his looks+personality, how I met him, what kind of dates we went on, how I feel towards him but I don't get toooo specific and I try to change the subject as soon as I can haha.

She can be very judgmental so I feel like I'm just wasting my breathe describing a guy to her that she'll just diss or inquire too much about, especially if I don't see myself being in a serious relationship with him.

I only tell my mom if the celebrities are hot and cute..
i never tell her about how cute guys are in real life.

i don;t tell my mom anything about my bf unless she ask

no.. she's pretty open about it but i feel weird just bringing it up, rofl.
plus i don't really like her knowing people around my age?
she starts saying weird things about them and would probably keep asking me about him.
which really sucks if something goes badly.. xD

No, I don't tell her since she wouldn't really empathise. she's got the traditional values stuck in her head, and she won't become a little more accepting about it. If I told her anything, she'd probably force things on me and tell me things that would lower my self esteem, or try by putting things into the worst possible situation to stop me from doing something she disagrees with.

i always tell my mom about cute guys and guys i'm interested in and etc etc,... dad too!
but i NEVER tell her if i have a boyfriend or a "thing" with a guy. all of that goes to my dad, cause he's pretty chill with it. i remember my first boyfriend back when i was 11 (LOL, shut up), i told my mom all about it and in the end i found out how much she hated him & me having a boyfriend. =| she thinks it'll screw up my grades... even though that one term throughout the year me & him lasted, was my only term where i got honor roll LOL

oh and yeah i'm not allowed to have one til college either... if i do, then my new york trip with my moola-infested aunt is canceled. D:

Yea, I'm very open with my mom. Before she was kinda strict, didn't let me go anywhere. But she's more relax now and pretty much cool about my going out. I tell her about my crush and such. I thought she would be like "no you can't like anybody, you should concentrate on study blah blah" just like every other typical asian parents. But surprisingly, she was cool about that and even advised me about what to do and how to behave. : )

i used to tell her everything.. until boys weren't the only ones in the picture.. hahahaha

No because I'm lesbian and that would just flip her out.

i only tell her when everything's over.. hahaha
the thing with my mom, she always disagrees with my choice of guys.
my dad, LOL never mind. he'd go nuts.
