Ok, don't get me wrong... There's no reason my mom shouldn't meet my best friend. He'd be the last person you'd ever suspect of doing anything illegal just because he's too cool for that. He's funny, smart, understanding-basically the perfect best friend. But, he IS a guy. And usually you don't invite a guy over for a one-on-one meeting with your parents unless you're dating him, which I'm definitely not.
Also, I suggested having a party and inviting all my friends, which didn't go over well. She wants to meet HIM.
Oh, and don't call me a slut or anything because my best friend is a guy.. I've got 3 best friends. Two are girls from my old school, and this one guy is from my new school. My mom knows my other two best friends. She loves one and thinks the other one is a bad influence (apparently-sp?-she's too emo...).
Sorry that it was so long... But for those of you that read and understood it...
What should I do??
Thanks to everyone that answers this...

Don't freak out. Your mom hasn't met your best friend - she doesn't know if he's a good or bad influence. If he's your best friend, and you explain to him that your mom is concerned, he's not going to assume it is a date.

Uhm be careful is #1 because for all you know that "woman" could be a greasy old 50 year old man who's into little girls. #2 don't go alone. That's the last thing you want because if it someone whos a 50 year old greasy man you have an easy escape route and you won't be by yourself making there attempt to get you a lot harder. #3 you have no choice but to tell your mom especially since you're a miner, you don't want to get caught with a 24 year old woman who could possibly abduct you. I'm not doing this to scare you I'm just making sure you understand the risks behind this. You may not believe people can make fake profiles and lie about their age and say all these things to you but believe me it happens more often than not.

My mother was the same way she wanted to meet everyone and needed to meet parents before anyone could stay with me but you know what in the long run now that ive been living on my own for 2 years i would rather my mom still tell me who i can and cant be friends with because people have a tendence to use me because im so nice like steal from me or borrow and not return or are just plain bad people
when you grown up you will probally do the same she only wants whats best for you and you should be thankful that she is like that alot of parents could care less about there kids or who there with thats why there are so many run aways and murders and kids in foster homes or in the system let your mom meet him he sounds like a good guy why wouldnt she like him and dont be nervouse you know cause when your nervouse you will tell storys or something that may get you in trouble just relax and invite him over ask him to go do something tell him to come get you and have him come in and meet your mom or tell him to come over and have your mom take you guys somewere that way you dont have to be sitting in the living room all nervouse

I think the party idea is the best. It would totally be uncomfortable to be grilled by your friends parents. She should know your friends but does she have to make it so uncomfortable. Can you just have him and maybe another friend over as a casual get together where your mom can talk with them both a little?
Explain to her that you want her to be involved with your life and to know your friends, but explain why and how a direct meeting between him and her would make you feel and suggest alternatives. If it comes down to it, prepare your friend and put him to the firing squad, maybe it won't be that bad. Good luck!

Your Mom loves you and just wants to know who you are hanging around. So , Just have him come over. It's not abnormal to have a male "best friend" and it be nothing more than just a really great Friendship! Be Glad your Mom Does love you so much. There are alot of parents who have NO clue about anything their kids are doing or hanging around, and then they act so shocked when they get in "trouble". Bring over your Buddy and don't make a big fuss over it. It will be fine. Good Luck !!!

Well if he's really as great of a person and as good of a friend as you claim that he is, then I don't see the problem in inviting him over just to hang out. Then your mom can meet him, but it won't be awkward. Problem solved. :)

if your mom wants to meet your guy friend really bad, just tell her that it's a boy. HOPEFULLY she'd understand because if she thought that you having a guy friend is bad that's technically being a sexist... or something along those lines. i have a friend, and almost all of her best friends are guys and i know her mom doesn't mind... i mean a lot of tomboy girls have guy friends... don't worry about your mom not liking him if he's a guy or something like that because it really shouldn't matter if your best friend is a guy or girl, as long as he's your friend that's really all that counts.

So introduce them.
No big.
Here ya go, nice and casual. Bake some killer cookies, and invite him over for cookies sometime when your mom is there. Bingo.

OMG your mother is being a mother and wants to know who's in your life. It's her job. If you are hanging around people you think she may not approve of...maybe you should reconsider the friends that you have.
