8 Signs You're Dating A Mama's Boy

He's cute and adorable. He's sweet as a pickle. But he keeps bringing up his mother in conversation. What you've stumbled upon is a Mama's Boy! 

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's important to take note of. Here are some surefire signs that the dude you're screwing divides his heart between you and his mama:

1. He always answers her calls

Most guys, if they're in the middle of fun nighttime activities with you, will let a a call go to voicemail. This dude will, unless it's his mother. He will stop doing whatever he's doing and answer that phone faster than you can say "What the hell?!"

2. Living more than an hour away from home isn't an option

You discuss wanting to move to a different state. He laughs because he thinks it's a joke. There's no way in hell he's moving that far away from his childhood home. 

3. He appreciates your cooking...to a degree

You may be an incredible cook, but there's always some expression on his face that suggests, "You're wonderful, just not mom-wonderful." 

4. He says "I love you" more to her than he does to you

It's not that he doesn't love you. It's just that any exchange he has with his mama must include the phrase, "I love you Mom." That's just his way

5. His mom is super judgmental of you

She may love you, but she won't show it. She needs you to know that she was the #1 woman in his life before you came along. Eventually she'll come around. Just keep complimenting her son, even if he is annoying. 

6. He watches "Everybody Loves Raymond" a lot

And he always defends Marie! You're like, "But she's crazy." He's like, "Yea, but she's a good mother at the end of the day." Also, this show has been off the air for over a decade! Let's update your references bud.

7. He LOVES to cuddle

You've never met a guy who's so into cuddling. Then you realize, it's probably because he grew up cuddling his mom all the time. Not in the gross, creepy way!

8. He's gotten in a fight before...

...because someone dissed his mother. He'll defend her honor no matter what, which bodes well for you. He'll hopefully do the same for you.
