Your Question:
Dear Experts,
My Mom really likes this guy I want on a couple of dates with. But I am not that intrested in him since he is majorly sex crazed. He is a walking horn dog and I am not that into sex. How do I tell my mother that he is not right because all he really wants to do is have sex with me.

The Answer:
Dear snowwhite74,
It's great that you want to talk to your mom about your relationships. Many parents are able to give teens excellent advice about sex and relationships, and can offer them support for the decisions they make. It's also a good way to build closeness and trust.
How much you want to tell your mom is up to you. You could say, "I know you like him, but he is very into sex, and I'm not." It's likely that your mom will appreciate your honesty and support your decision. If you're not comfortable offering that much detail, you could say, "We're just not compatible, and I don't want our relationship to go any further."
Hope this information helps!
Take care,
