I have an extremely strict "don't ask don't tell" policy with my mother in regards to my private life. She is extremely nosy. Frankly, I think most of my life is none of her business.
I can only speak from my heart - and remember my son is not yet 2 years old - but I think it's probably hard for mothers and sons sometimes. I love my son so much - and right now, he needs me so much. I love being needed by him. I love giving him baths, changing his diapers, soothing him when he cries, hugging him, kissing him, etc. It's hard for me to understand that one day, he really won't need me that much anymore. And one day, he probably won't want to tell me what's going on his life. Yes, some mother's are just nosy. But remember - usually it's because they love you so much!
My mother has suddenly been making questions about my private life. She asks if there will be girls in my group of friends when I go out at night, if there isn't a pretty girl at university and things like that.
She never used to ask such nosy questions so why all the sudden interest? I can't remember if she did the same to my brother when he was my age.
Anyone has ever dealt with it?
I would guess being a mom myself with a son probably your age, she is hoping that you have a special person in your life. Sometimes as our sons grow older a woman might become concerned that he will keep growing older and not have a girlfriend, or get married and have children. Personally I am in no hurry for my sons to grow up and get married. I think you are growing older and she just hopes you have someone special in your life.

LOL she just out of a 30 year old Hell marriage and she already wants to get me into trouble? She is the special person in my life and she'll wait until death if she thinks I would ever bring someone home.
Well, she won't have any luck with that. The idea of a parent suggesing you join a dating website is disgusting.
She will sometimes make the question to my brother even though he ignores it. I just find strange because it has never been her style, at least with me.
If it has never been her style with you, perhaps she just perceives or sees a change or even a need to 'reach out' on the topic.
It is hard to be the Mom of grown men and women. And it is hard to let go of the children you used to hold and love. Maybe it is nothing more than a time of change and she is feeling her way to the new life.
I like the response of kiss on head and give non response. it is kindly and shows you care. That is what matters.
She wants to be like the other women of her age....grandbabies.
She's probably asked "any grands on the way?" And hates to admit that you aren't hot to trot to get married and breed.
