Opinions on a situation
So I met a guy while playing. He seemed like a good person so after a month or two of talking we started dating. Of course he sent me pictures of himself, told me his name, where he lives, age and I even got to talk to his parents and friends.
He seems legit so I told my mom about him. She panicked when I told her and almost made brake up with him. Eventually mom and him talked on a video call and she calmed down a bit.
The problem is she's always suspicious of him and asks tricky questions. I don't want to to suspect he might be a bad person (not that I didn't considered it just don't want to be questioning every little thing he does) but my mom makes it really hard.
She even did a background research on him to make sure he was 100% legit.
My relationship with him is really good and I really like him but the anxiety of always questioning whether he is real or not hits hard. I never expressed this to him because I don't know how to. Plus his never or rarely given me a reason to doubt him/ given sketchy vibes.
I know our way of meeting wasn't the safest and I did take into consideration all that could happen. Just to clarify I'm not a minor just live with an overprotective family. And I have been dating him for a bit now.
Any advice? Opinions?
I think the easiest way to resolve this is to arrange a face-to-face meeting, preferably with your mom present. I think seeing him in person would help immensely, even if she doesn't talk to him. You could say, meet up with him at a cafe while your mom sits a few tables away just to keep on eye on things. Given the relationship you've built with hi......

I think that you should arrange a meeting (if you can) In public & with a friend or family member present, of course! Be careful...

Just do you... if you like him you like him.... your mum is just being a bit overprotective but that's how mums are.... if you feel like he's not worth it drop him like a hot potato but otherwise see where things go first before making any conclusions

Well I've only had an online friend once but everyone says it's sketchy so your feelings of anxiety are completely reasonable. I think you should talk it out with him...he might actually feel the same way towards you. Neither of you can be sure of each other ╮(￣▽￣)╭ So maybe give your mom a little leeway? She's being rightfully protectiv......
