So, my recently acquired girlfriend comes with an extremely protective mother... You can only imagine the troubles this brings. Her father is surprisingly easy going, and a nice guy. Unfortunately he lives in alabama. Her stepdad can't really influence her ma very much. The problem lies in the fact that its hard to do anything with her because of her ma. It was a huge pain in the ass just to be able to take her to a movie... What advice can you guys give me? I really like this girl, but unless I do something, it'll be hard on me. Im planning on approaching her mother directly, with out Kalie being there, and being very forward with her, telling her how much I like her daughter, and all that good stuff. I think if I can gain her trust, things might be easier? Maybe Im wrong. Maybe itll backfire in my face. So far, I have nothing bad going for me (unless they search my jeep ). I an honest, hardworking kid, and they know that. I dunno... Maybe ill have to be creative...

I don't know if this helps, but the ONE thing I've found to be GREAT in a relationship is to get on the parents' good side. Just be a nice guy around her mom, and always be as respectful as possible. Good luck man.

When me and mine started dating, 5 years ago today believe it or not haha, her mother was like that. As a matter of fact, she had turned 15 exactly a month before we started dating. And up to that point, her mom had explicitly told her "no boyfriends". And when I ended up meeting her mother, she was very polite, but I could tell she was very, very overprotective. So I just went with it. Never tried stepping on her toes. Always made sure to agree with her and chime in on any open conversation they might be having at the house. You somehow show that you have Kalie's best interest at heart (i.e. reinforcing her mother's telling her to make sure she does her homework or studies for a test, maybe offering to help around the house with chores or whatever), and her mother will break those barriers down and let her daughter more freely go with you wherever. It works. I mean shit, me and Liz's mom are practically best friends now.
P.S. After you earn her mother's trust...don't fuck that up. You will never live it down.

the next time you go ver there, wear a cucumber down your pants. sit with your legs apart. occasionally scratch that area, to make sure you draw her attention to it in a nonchalant way. when you see her look at at it, wink at her and smile knowingly. works EVERY TIME, trust me

BE apart of the family without being intrusive. Make her mom look at you as on her side.
