How To Convince My Mom I'm Not In Love With My Best Friend

That also probably wouldn't help tbh

 

Drat.

 

she seems to be losing hair rather rapidly (though not as much as my father) so i doubt she's any of the sort.
but yeah.
"i just don't want you to be lying to yourself"
"your emotions towards John are different then those towards Dave"
no freaking duh.

 

Woop woop I'm slow at finding threads and late to the party but I'm just gonna pop in and say I know the feeling and it is super annoying. To date, my mom has questioned whether I'm in romantic involvement with two separate friends, one of whom is my moirail. Like. She gets that the relationship with my moirail is a lot closer than a lot of friendships, but I've had to tell mom SEVERAL TIMES that no we're not dating, no we're not in love, stop mom I'm asexual, I really mean it 8I

It's gotten to the point where I don't ever want to tell mom about any of my friends because every time I do, I get this look that I just know is her silently going "they're totally in love" and then it's just a matter of time.

She does it with my little brother, too! He's 14 and every single girl he even remotely shows that he has a friendship with is automatically "OOOOOOH YOU'VE GOT A CRUSH ON HER"

Um. Rambling aside. I don't think I have any really good advice to give you, so just have some more sympathy hugs *hug* I hope she eventually backs off <:U

 

Moms, stop shipping your kids and everyone they are friends with, dammit.

 

Of course, if it turns out she does like whoever you're talking about that's gonna backfire real quick.

 

Oh god that'd be hilarious and also potentially terrifying. Not sure how well it'd work with mom's best friend though because they already make so many jokes to each other about one "stealing" the other from her husband. It's like... you know those comics of dragons on tumblr that do the "bro I love you" thing in various hilarious ways? That's my mom and her friend. Only sometimes mom and her friend get significantly more raunchy 8I
