So I am recently dating this guy, and he already talk to my mom to get permission to date me. She said she kinda doesn't agree cause we don't know eachother (wrong we know eachother) he asked her for permission if he could take me out to eat or movies and she denied it. So he has being visiting home just to see me. Today he asked me if I wanted to go to the movies and I left the answer open cause I didn't want to tell him no. I am now afraid of even asking her to let us go out. Note he is 22 already with a bachelors and a good job and I'm 21 with an associates and a bachelors and also a good job.
you're 21. If you allow your mother to dictate your social life, it is because you choose to give her that power. Move out on your own and stop asking permission to be an adult.
If you really are 21, you are an adult and can date who you want. If you are lying, and are actually in HS or middle school, you can't. To give you any real advice, you'd have to give us the truth about your situation, though.
OP I recommend posting your question in a forum other than Parenting. I'm thinking the Psychology forum might yield better responses and would also be a more appropriate venue for your topic. No matter where you post though, people will want to know why this dude asked your mom's permission to date you. At your ages and in 2013, that is not the norm.
I'm in college. All those mistakes are typos. Why should I be lying about my education level to people who I don't know?
In your OP you said you had an AA and a bachelor's degree. Now you're "in college." Sorry if that confuses some of us. My son is in graduate school and he doesn't say he's "in college," he tells people he's in "grad school." Maybe a language issue on your part.

Operating on the assumption that there are cultural norms to consider here, I would suggest you seek the advice of someone older within your culture. Obviously, your mothers approval is important to you so it is her approval you must seek. The only suggestion I can think of is him visiting your home until your mom is comfortable with the two of you going out, however, this is just a guess on my part because it's not the norm in my culture to need a parent's approval to date. I would talk to someone who adheres to the same customs you do with more experience.
Good luck.
