Supportive

Today, completely excited, I told my mom about this guy from high school that I had really liked and who had found me on Facebook. He said he regretted not asking me out in high school and offered to fly me out to visit him. Her response? "Has he seen what you look like now?" FML

Blast from the past

Today, I was messaged by a great guy I went to college with, and he was telling me how stupid he had been for not asking me out in college and about how much he had liked me. After talking for 30 minutes about trying to get together soon, he told me that he had mistaken me for someone else. FML

An attempt was made

Today, I saw a girl I haven't seen in 4 years. She used to like me back then. Since then I have lost 50 pounds, and never had the confidence to ask her out. She said I looked really sexy so I decided to ask her out on a date then and there. She said no, she only likes fat guys. FML

Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML

Today, I was showing my hair-do from my high school prom from 10 years ago to a drunk neighbor. He turned to my mom and said, "Wow, she was a beautiful girl back in the day." Right in front of me. FML

Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML

Oblivious

Today, a couple convinced me I should ask out their daughter I went to school with, because it’s "obvious" we like each other. I do have a crush on her, so I decided to bravely go for it. She didn’t just say no, it was, “Ew, no, weirdo.” All her parents could say was, “Wow, we misjudged that, our bad.” FML

Today, I met an old friend from high school and his hot girlfriend. I jokingly said she must be blind to go out with him. His response: "Yeah, she is." FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to start a Facebook chat with a guy I really like. It went so well, and he even agreed to hang out sometime. Seconds after we finished our conversation, he changed his status to, "Desperate bitches really piss me off." FML

You're mom is probably saying that you've become a beautiful swan and the man is going to be so pleasantly surprised. . . Mmmmmmm, maybe not. Are your Facebook pages a mixture of good ones from high school and blurry, recent ones? Yeah, I thought so. You ever see someone's face say "Oh, shit!" without the words being uttered? You're going to.

Anyone else thinks it's a bit strange that this guy contacts her out of the blue and then offers to fly her out to wherever he is?? I mean, sure, they knew each other in highschool... but that's a rather very forward offer. I'd be a little weirded out by that, even if it was my crushiest of all highschool crushes.

I'm still in school, and not a Facebook pro, but maybe he found her as the friend of a friend of a friend... And then he thought, oh, I know her! I don't know.

Yes, firstly, OP's mother is a bitch if that had a negative connotation. OP didn't say anything about her looks. BUT...even if it was a guy I went to high school with and had a crush on, I'd be skeptical if he just out of the blue, facebooked me and offered to fly me out to see him. Its great if he's interested in you, OP, but talk to him on the phone a few times before you get on the plane. Maybe even wait for him to come by your town first.

Obviously your mother is just trying to keep you at home. I guess I can't blame her... since you never know. Sure, you knew him in high school, but times change... Also, what 34 said. Kind of out there... I still say try and make sure he's still the same guy. Paranoid? Maybe so, but better safe than sorry.

Maybe this wasn't the first thing that was said. MAYBE they had conversations prior to his offer?

True enough, but that's not how it sounds like. Of course, OP perhaps smashed the details into each other for space. I still say it sounds more like mom was trying to keep her at home.
