...asked out before? I'm 16, almost 17, and there have been boys who have confessed that they like me over the past few years in high school. However, I've never been asked out before by any of them, and I've never been on a date with a boy. It's probably because most of the school knows my mom as the "crazy woman" and they know that she would explode with anger if her daughter were to have a boyfriend. In actuality, my mom isn't really a crazy woman; she's just really strict, and I know that she is heavily anti-boyfriend. But I just want to give it a chance. If I never get a boyfriend and if I never ask my mom for consent to date, then I never will be able to get out of this bubble. My mom gets really angry when she hears about teens dating, but I maybe want to change her mind if I ever find someone nice that she will approve of. But the school already has this inflated notion of my mother being the devil who will kill any boy who she sees around her daughter. One of the guys I used to like even confessed to me recently that he used to like me, but he didn't ask me out because he was afraid of what would happen with my mother if he did. I felt like I had missed my chance because of one stupid thing like that. It feels like the school has labeled me off limits with warning and danger signs plastered all over me. How do I get rid of this? How can I open myself up so that boys won't be afraid of dating me because of my mother?
