So on Saturday, I did some mall game. I asked out the first girl I approached that day. She said yes. I got her number.
The next day, I told my mom about it, because I want her to know where I'm going. When I told her, she tried to persuade me to take her to a movie after the date, and avoid talking about sex during the first date. Hahahaha.
Yesterday, I got a text from a fraternity that I'm trying to join. They gave me a list of events that they are hosting this week. I told my mom about it, to let her know where I will be (I sound like a broken record, right?). I kept the part about the fraternity a secret, until she read about a sorority meeting up with them. And I told her that this is from a fraternity. She freaked out and tried to tell me about what happened to a fraternity from the news, but I was having none of that.
Over the course of these days, an overwhelming desire to tell my mom that I'm not five anymore and that I'm a grown man built up in my head. I did on Monday, but mom said nothing. She didn't even take it seriously.
My parents have always been protective of me, but know I feel like they're actively trying to protect me from life. And I'm sick of it. I live with my parents, so I don't know how to overcome this. I wish I could move out, but I don't have a job, I don't know anyone, and I don't have any money.
So the question is: How do I overcome my parent's limiting beliefs, go out by myself, and all while living under their roof?
