[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just ask questions.  Are you two romantically involved.  Exclusive? Why or why not?  What makes this relationship great for you? .  Then  Get your concerns out there for her consideration in a nonjudgmental way by using I statements and asking her opinion.  When I was in college, I found. . . Do you think things have changed?[/quote]
Who wouldn’t love 20 questions about your life from mom?[/quote]

You may get no info, but you might.  Part of the challenge I think is that college kids don’t often “date” so it’s hard for them to know the status of their relationship, much less explain it to mom.  I was getting a lot of non-answer from my college kid about a new love interest.  After months, I asked “are you exclusive?” And got a “yes.”  So I know something now. . . They understandably don’t want to give u the play-by- play, but I also find it weird to know there is this person in their life and pretend they don’t exist.  So, I’d be direct with a couple of questions and see what u get.[/quote]
