I am sure she knows that, in her heart, but may just be trying to postpone the inevitable. Sure, get to know that guy, a one-year age difference doesn't make nearly as much difference as poeple think. Some guys are mature at 16, some not until 36 - if ever ... but you just want to maybe date him, not marry him tomorrow. Your mom is just being a mom. She will live.
