    Hi,

    I have been dating a woman for about a month. We met online [ages 39 and 40]. Her online profile reflected that she was looking for a LT relationship with someone she clicks with, with out the BS, so I assumed she is also looking for a LTR with out asking her directly. I have been upfront from the beginning that I am interested in a committed relationship with someone, so that’s not a secret. So far we have just been having fun and getting to know one another. Her interest level is high and we have recently started seeing each other Saturday and Sunday with plans this upcoming weekend too.

    Last weekend I met her parents at a community event and was introduced at the beginning of the evening as her friend by the mother. At the end of the night [after her and mom had gone off together a couple of times] I was introduced as her boyfriend by her mother to a couple. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, because we have just been getting to know each other and I never thought about it yet. [And her mother just met me that evening for the first time] But now that it happened, I’m curious and thinking…What is this? You’re hoping a successful LTR could happen between us too…right? How do I introduce you if we come into contact with someone I know?

    Is this appropriate after a month? Is the DTR talk based strictly upon a persons situation, or should I just get that out of my head because its only been a month and not say anything? I wasn’t confused and wasn’t even thinking about this until that night when I was introduced to people by her mother.

    Are you asking me, simply, why your date’s mother introduced you as her boyfriend? 😯

    Because it’s really not that important how a mother of a woman you’re dating introduces you — friend, boyfriend — I think you’re looking for something that you should be relaxing about. You can take away from the episode that the mother is flexible and is trying to do the right thing. 🙂 And are you then asking how you introduce her mother if, by some chance, the two of you meet someone you know? Because, you simply introduce her as Mrs. so and so. And you can also say, this is my friend’s mother or my girlfriend’s mother. It’s your choice. It’s not a commitment. 😉 And, really, either one (friend or girlfriend) is appropriate at the one month mark in the context of a social situation. It should be clear to you both, given your ages, that you’re still getting to know one another, so the “title” you’re using to make it easier for others to identify you, isn’t as important as what’s REALLY going on between the two of you.

    Don’t worry so much about this stuff. It’s not the big stuff. 😀
