My dear friend, first of all tell your mom that you really like this christian guy and you want to have a date with him ask her to understand your situation, because it is your life not her's, yes as a parent she must guard, love and respect your rights. But never get mad with your mother. Pray to God girl!! ^_^

How "Christian" of her. Your Mom has the chance to guide and support you in a good direction right now and she's not doing it.
I'll do it for her...
Honey, if you like this guy, great. Have a nice time with him. You'll feel really good when you're you're with him...or you won't. Always follow your OWN feelings. Just because I don't think he's "cute", doesn't mean YOU don't. Everyone's different, right?
So, go with the flow. And don't worry about what I think or what anyone else thinks, either. OK? I love you and I know and trust that you will always make the best choices for YOU.
GOOD LUCK!!!

As long as his "cuteness" is her only reason for not liking him, don't worry about it.
If she can list some real reasons (she's seen him hanging on other girls at the mall), listen, but don't assume that she's right, she might just be out to ruin a good thing.
The fact is, most parents just want what's best for you, so you should listen. As my grandma always told me:
'Your mom is your best friend. Throughout your life, she'll always be your friend." (This is assuming, of course, that your mom does love you.)
Don't let anyone change you into something you're not. Not your parents, and definitely not your boyfriend.

Good girl Alexis...always look at WHO the person is not the outside appearance only. A Christian guy is going to treat you so much better and your mother should understand that. Sounds like you are more mature than your own mom!!

make your own decision. If I would have dated the guys that my mom wanted me to date I know I would end up heartbroken. For goodness sakes she used to say to me, "Baby, I like that Nick Cannon fellow and if you ever become a star ya'll should hook up." He cheated on Christina Milian and I maybe cute, but she has me beat financially and physically so just imagine what would have happened if I was to date him. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is, if you love him then date him. You are the one that has to look at him. Everyone has their Ideal of how attractive or unattractive people are so trust your judgment and not someone else's when it concerns how a person that you want, looks.

Are you going to date him or is your mom. I've heard of a lot of moms not liking their daughters boyfriends for many reasons, but the guy not being cute enough is a first. Who cares if she doesn't think he's cute.

Date a cuter Christian guy. :D
If you're 16 or under, I wouldn't worry about it. You'll break up before you get too serious. Your mom's entitled to her opinion.
She obviously thinks you can do better and speaks from her own experience. Surprisingly enough, there are cuter Christian guys out there that you would just love.

I think I would have to say that your mom is rather shallow for judging someone by thier looks. If you like him already then her opinion does not much matter as long as the only reason she does not like him is looks and not cause she thinks he is a bad person in general.

Are you in that right age where you can responsibly handle a relationship with someone?..then if you do, then you have all the rights to like/love someone you wanted to like/love..your mom is just there to support your decision emotionally and give you advice..listen to what your heart desires and follow through what your brain decides to do..

How shallow can a person be??? A parent should know better. Isn't it supposed to be about how you feel and how you are treated??? Are you sure that is the reason? If so, come on, Mom, let the kid live their own life.
