Have you not tried explaining to your mom that personality is what counts and you don't really get "celebrity crushes" or whatever?

My mother never asked me questions like this and I can't speak for anyone else's relationships with their maternal unit but have you thought that maybe she asks you things like this because she's willing to discuss/accept your sexuality?

Either way, when the day comes, I wish you the best of luck OP.

Even if that's the case, I can speak from experience that when someone tries to force that discussion out of you it's really scary and uncomfortable. OP needs to bring it up on her own terms. I don't think her mother is being intentionally malicious but it strikes me as immature at the very least. I think a better way to show her support would be to say "I just want you to know that you can talk to me about your sexuality and that I love you no matter what."

It really is and it's not really anyone else's business what an individual finds attractive, gay or straight! It's like, if OP wanted to let their mom know who they found attractive they would, having someone try to elicit that opinion out of you is just annoying

In general I just find it uncomfortable discussing this stuff with either of my parents, if it was friends or one of my sisters it would be totally okay

Yeah I wasn't trying to say that what OP's mom is doing is a good thing, merely raising the possibility that this is what she's doing because asking your kid who they find hot is an awfully leading question.

IA with you that outright showing acceptance and inviting them to discuss it in their own time is the proper way to handle it.

ayrt

It's okay I didn't think you were doing that! It was just my two cents.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I've mentioned it before but in kind of a vague way (this was after she randomly pointed at a dude on the street while we were driving somewhere and asked the dreaded question, and I looked at her like she'd asked if I wanted broiled skunk for dinner, haha). I'm fairly sure this is just her way of trying to do "girl talk" and I didn't want to get too deep into an explanation (plus I figured, you know, I love you Mom, but I don't feel like explaining the nitty-gritty details of my sexuality to you at this point in time).

and thank you, it's much appreciated. :)
