    Ok it might not be as dramatic as my title suggests... I'm an only girl with 3 older brothers who all have beautiful long term girlfriends who are unbelievably nice... My mother is constantly saying how i should be with tall, good looking, perfect guy who is successful... I would love that too but i don't think i'll be able to meet someone that perfect that will live up to my mother's expectations..so i have never had a proper boyfriend. I kinda feel now that i don't give guys who could be really nice a chance but i can't help it.

    it's you who has to go out with the person though, not your mum.

    I've had girlfriends that both my parents did not approve of, did that make me finish with them? Not on your nelly. It's all down to how you & your partner get on, everything else should fall into place then.

    Trust your heart, when you meet someone you click with size, shape or success does not matter.

    Thanks for getting back to me.. I kinda feel like i've let her down or she'll be disappointed if he's not this prince charming... I really want to meet this prince charming too but i think my standards might be a little unrealistically high.. I always feel like all the good guys are gone they all have girlfriends now..

    If this is the way you are thinking, this is the image you are projecting and you will not notice, or be noticed by, the perfectly nice and good single guys who are out there.... You are "reaching for the stars but missing the roses at your feet...." Time to look back to earth.

    Surely it matters not a jot if your mother doesnt think whoever you end up with is "prince charming" (whatever the fcuk that is in a realistic sense) If she views status and looks above someone who'll be devoted to you and love you then shes got some serious priority issues.

    Why are you blaming this on your mother? Seriously, are you able to think for yourself and be independent? You make your choices in life.

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but don't lay the blame for this at your mother's feet. We walk our own paths in life.
