Is it good when the girl's mom likes you?

Sometimes mom may be trying to play match maker without her daughter's knowledge. Also, dating a non-Christian can really test you in your faith. Mom may think you're a good match, but her daughter may not feel the same way.... that's all I mean by careful.

For me personally, I don't know how I would feel. My mom has chosen some really interesting guys for me, some ok and others not so much.

I would rather have it the other way around. I would want my mom to like the guy that I am interested, but just because she likes the guy doesn't automatically mean that I will go out with him, does that make sense?:scratch:

Women are insane.

It's not a bad thing that her mom likes you. In my book, it's a good thing. The one possible negative I could see arising from the situation is that if the woman isn't interested in dating you, or isn't sure, she may feel pressured by her mom -- and that has repercussions on her relationship with you.

But other than that, unless the mom likes you so much that she's asking you out, I think it's a good thing.

depends.. i don't think i've ever developed an interest in a guy just because my mom happened to be impressed with him but she has been impressed by guys i have been interested in. so IMHO it really depends on what her feelings are for you to begin with.


i know that pobably doesn't help you, but since when are women supposed to understood anyways? ;)

I should clarify what I meant when I said "it's a good thing." I meant it's good in that if she's interested in you and you start dating, you already have jumped one of the hurdles, which is getting her mom to like you. I don't think it's likely to change how she feels about you -- but I don't think it's likely to hurt, either. And if you do start dating, you're off to a good start with the Mom. :thumbsup:

I'm almost always liked their moms, and I'm still single at 31, so I wouldn't put much stock in it. What's important is that the girl likes you. If she's not interested, then it doesn't matter what her mom thinks.
