Try living in a Ruth Rendell short story waiting to happen and see how She Who Must Be Obeyed feels about you bringing ANYONE home, let alone if there's the slightest chance of you knocking boots with them.

I'm not getting the reference. What's the story about?
Ruth Rendell was an English crime writer who wrote a lot of novels and short stories about children who were nestled too tightly under the parental wing and the dysfunctional relationships that grew out of such situations. Art imitating life in my case.
After getting over the shock of 1) Finding out I had a son who is just about my age and 2) contacting Guinness to see why the heck I am not listed in their record book for having a son at that age and threatening them with legal action if they don't list me, I would stop and wonder (worst case scenario) if it was me. If my son was afraid to being his dates home to me to meet. If the answer to that was no and if he's well adjusted and happy with life, I probably would just think he didn't meet anyone yet that he's serious about. To me, that's not unusual as my brother never brought home a single woman until he was in his mid 30s and met the woman who is now his wife.
I guess what I'm saying is doing worry too much about it. Worrying won't help and it won't change things. Besides, as they say, you can't wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time. Work on yourself and making your life the best for you. You do not need another person in your life to make you complete or to be happy. Love may or may not come, but you'll be happier... and you never know, right?
Why are so many mote solos attracted to the CD comment section. OP I'll play along. I'd think my son was gay OR he was meeting girls I didn't like, OR like all good mom's I'd know if he had any problems meeting girls, and not say anything out of caring.
Has your mom been dropping hints like "I'll accept you no matter what" etc. Just leave it at that. Most moms LOVE their sons and will not be upset if you don't have a girlfriend. I'm sure that whatever she wants is just for you to be happy. If you are weird, she probably knows that is her fault too.
It's common. Some guys just don't get girls. It's sad but how the world works.
