Do you think youth around my age need permission from parents to have a date? (44)
jbibizaCasinos, Valencia Spain94 Threads 4 Polls 4,914 PostsAs several people have stated... cultural and family lifestyles come into this question but also finances come into it as well. Are you still financially dependent on your parents? If so then they have a lot to say about how you live your life and what you do. If you are financially independent than you should have more freedom to make choices in your life.
I don't see any issue with a boyfriend to see you only with your parents being present. This way, your mother knows the guy and it has to be respectable in your cultural and family tradition. If he is a good quality match for you in life, he will wait for you and honor you and your family traditions and the completion of your education. Your parents may interrogate the guy to see what type of guy he really is. If he is of good quality for you, they may let him come over to visit or study with you.
As my family said the following two proverbs to me, "Get an education or you will be dirt under someone's feet someday." Also, "Your education is your key to your future."
So choose your education and relationships wisely and you will be much more successful and happy in life in general. If you go against your family and social traditions, you may regret it and feel guilty the rest of your life for dissappointing your mom and yourself as well.

Then I guess you need to answer your own question... Which is more important to you...
Having a boyfriend or respecting your mom?

Regardless of your age and independence, your mom is very obviously thinking about your future. You say that you are only 80% independent.
No doubt mom wants you to succeed in a career first. You will most likely attract a successful partner in life too and will have something more financially solid to bring into a marriage.
It is senseless to distract from your education now and possibly never have the chance to complete it and reach your fullest financial and emotional independence in life.
You may only have to look around your country at others who are in bad situations and know that is not something your mom wants to see for you in life.
Somehow, many of us as parents are able to see and understand negative things that can occur in the future whereby our children will say, "No,that can never happen to me." In other words, parents in general are able to recognize the "red danger flags" in life whereby many younger people just don't see danger.
We as parents also may not have been able to recognize danger flags when we were younger, but life experiences have finally taught us to recognize and heed the warnings.

Wowww, you inspire me ...to see more about parents love...
I don't know your parents but undoubtably your mom is very concerned about your future and wants to see you emotionally and financially well balanced throughout life.
She will be your best friend throughout life and will no doubt be your most reliable and true person to talk to about problems that happen as you grow into full mature adulthood.
Whether we realize it or not, we become very much like our parents as we grow older in life. Some of it is our genetics, cultural and religious upbringing and for some of us...it is just being around our parents that make us naturally more apt to act like them at different points in our life.
I'm sure that many of the CSers here might be able to say jokingly or even seriously, "I have become my mother." Many of us perhaps did not want to think like our mothers but somehow do and all of a sudden realized it.
