His mother I am sure doesn't help the situation. He comes from a good family BUT his mother is soo controlling. He actually broke free from "prison" lol *j/k...and got to go out with him and took him to a casino a few months ago....BUT he was 5 hrs. late. I called and his mother said, oh he is vacuuming for me (DOH!)I almost died lol...
He is turning 50 *yes, 50* soon and hasn't ever gone on a date since his senior prom!!
I moved to his neck of the woods recently and am "near" him and asked him to go out several times..hopin g I can set him up or get him a date with someone lol..even if it's random!! and on impulse..
He is a good guy,is a pharmacist, and LIVES at home . Never has been on his own. Maybe his mother is afraid I will corrupt him loll...............rofl..but come on... I only had seen him a few times a year...now i live near him and next to never see him! He is on a "short" leash!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe a good present for his bday would be :
1. A girl jumping out of a cake LOL>>>>>>>>
2, Dating service gift certificate maybe???
Help!! His mother is the most controlling woman!! If he goes to church, he tells me he needs to get the "bulletin" too to make sure he goes to mass..
I guess it starts with him...but any advice I can give him or help him?
Family situations rarely appear to be what they are. He may have deficits you're unaware of. Otherwise, after 50 years, he'd have made some plans of his own. (His mom's what...75?) And he has plenty of opportunities to meet women at work...well, he can chat about their ailments, anyway. But I think your intentions are good. I'd just move slowly if I were you.
He is a grown man. If he doesn't have a problem with his current situation, why do you?
I concur. You don't like the way this man has chosen to spend his life and you want to change it. We get it, you don't like his mom. You aren't required to like his mom. But don't badmouth his mom to him. That isn't going to win you any points at all. Accept him the way he is and be content to be his friend. Why not invite both of them over for dinner at your place some night?
Leave the man alone. He just might like his situation the way it is. Not everyone wants to be involved. In his case he's just not interested.
I would not insult him with any of the above gifts. I'd ask him what he would like, if he says nothing just buy him a card and leave it at that. The last thing you want to do is force him to do something he does not want to do. I can't stand when people want me to do something just because THEYwant me to. It's a really awkward feeling.
Just enjoy him the way he is. If you want to have fun with him do it gradualy. Don't put the guy into a state of shock. If you keep going at 100mph like you are he may not want to be bothered with you at all. When he sees you he'll know what your agenda is.
Lay off and just get to know him more, more so than you trying to change him, because that's what you're doing. Although you mean well.
Exactly. The guy is probably gay and doesn't wanna complicate his life by telling his controlling family full of busy bodies.
