I really cant tell if my boyfriends mom likes me or hates me. Shes one of those strong women who dont show much except her tugh front and if always full on and in your face. She says she likes me but I dont think she does really - its he comments and body language and such that tell me differently. However, I cant help but hope that its just because Im dating her first child, only son and someone shes fairly close to. How can I tell? Do you have this problem?

hard one, if anything don't worry to much about it. i put up with my mother inlaw, even thou she drives me nuts most the time with things. you don't get me started about things with it, so i just be polite.

i there Artsy Fartsy Gypsy! I think that it would be really hard to tell what someone thinks about you. Sometimes, even the people we know, we can't really tell. It's understandable that your boyfriend's mom won't be an exception. She wouldn't really show how she feels about you right away because she may not even know hos she feels about you yet. I think that you should not worry about it, just be yourself, because if you're not being yourself, a woman of experience can tell it. Just be yourself so that she will like you for what you really are.

With a woman who has the personality you described, you really can't tell for sure so my advice to you is that you stop worrying about it. Kill her with kindness as the saying goes. Always be friendly and polite, treat her only child well and she will end up liking you even if she doesn't want to. I've never had this problem but it was hard for me to accept my oldest daughter's first boyfriend because I generally didn't trust boys. He proved himself to me by the way he treated my daughter and the respect he showed to me.
