Yes she does. As long as you live in her home and are under 18, she is responsible for you.
Why does she object to this person? Have you discussed it calmly and tried to look at it from her point of view? Have you behaved in a manner in the past that causes her to be concerned if you date this person?
Moms (and Dads) look at things from a safety, what is the best for my child, how can I protect my child from the ugliness of world point of view.
If you truly want to date this person, you should probably try to understand her point of view and calmly discuss it. Have the person come to your home and visit with your mom so she can get to know him/her. Maybe she will find out that it would be okay for you to date this person.
But, if you want to be treated like an adult, you must act like one, use wisdom, patience and understanding.

Yeah, it's her job to parent you and she's doing it the best she can apparently. You will have your whole life to date great people and total idiots and she is trying to hold off the idiot part for you. Love the fact that your Mom loves you enough to take such solid ground on this one. I know it sounds totally cliche but she was your age and she wants to keep the crap away from you and save you being hurt. Lay off and don't push it with her and she won't have to push so hard back. If she sees you making a bad decision she'll put her foot down harder. If you act like a person who's not going to go on like an idiot every time she tries to say something, she won't have the urge to protect you so much (ie acting like an idiot back at you). Good luck.

I agree with SandyS. Find out why your Mom objects to this particular person. Maybe she sees something about him that you don't. When we are in love we are blind to that person's faults. My parents didn't like a guy I dated, but I did anyway (I was 27 yrs. old at the time) and he turned out to be abusive. If your Mom has genuine concerns then please don't ignore her!

you do have a right to date who you want but you parents can have a hand in how often you see this person. try to work something out with her like you and you honey doing something with her around so that she can see what kind of person they are. it work for my mom but the guy ended up being a piece of crap anyways. you never know. just try talking to her about it.

You're still a minor and not a legal adult so yes. She might know more about where it might go in the end or that he might not be the best for you. My mom would only do that in my own best interest.

Just wait until you are 18 and move out, then you can make all the silly mistakes your heart desires!
