Dear Sunohara: Problems with Mama’s boys

Hey sexy people… I’m back and sexier than ever. Before we get down to business - what did you guys think of my latest performance in CLANNAD 24: Tomoyo’s Story? I bet you were disappointed right? I was too, when the director told me we were doing a Tomoyo episode, I thought to myself - that’s sweet, I’ll finally get me some sweet Tomoyo lip action. Then they go off and write a script having Tomoya and Tomoyo hookup! This guy already has Nagisa - Tomoyo was supposed to be for me! ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!

Well now that’s out of my system. On to this week’s relationship and love life advice. This week is the all girls edition, because all questions to the mail box (koibito.anime[at]gmail.com) were from you fine ladies.

Hi Sunohara

How do you know if the guy you’re dating is a mama’s boy? I’m 22 and I’ve been going out with this guys for the last 5 months. And every time we have a date he says he has to be home before midnight, because that’s what his mom said his curfew is. I like this guy, but I’d don’t want to waste time on a Mama’s boy.

XOXOXO,

Rachael

Hey Baby

You know I’m known for being many things - sexy, handsome, rich… and now add anti-mama’s boy to the list. Just look at me, I’ve been living on my own for a couple years now. A mama’s boy is not the type boyfriend you want to lock lips with… the whole time you’re making out he’ll be thinking of getting home on time so his mama don’t get upset at him. Besides you should be dating a guy like me instead.

Now there is a little test that you can do to see if this guy can be reformed or if will always be a mama’s boy. Get some tickets to a concert or show that is guaranteed to end late - like 11pm-ish. Tell him who want to him to come with you to the concert and then you’re interested in spending some “quality alone time” together afterwards. If he even hesitates or says anything like “Oh, I don’t know that’s past midnight…” then dump him. Once a mama’s boy always a mama’s boy.

(Kira`s Editors Note - This is the first time I can remember that i didn’t actually have to edit Sunohara’s advice. He’s actually bang on here. If this guy doesn’t have any plans to move out then the only thing I can add is to talk to him. Let him know that it’s hard for you guys to have a good time together if he’s always worry about not upsetting his mother. If he gets upset or angry about this, then yeah - dumb away)

Let it be known that the Vegetable Price is Anti-Mama’s boys

Hi Youhei

There is this guy in my class that I’ve kinda fallen for. He’s sooo cute and seems really nice. The thing is he’s like the super shy. OMG he totally like turns away when I try to talk to him. But I found out from my friend that he’s been asking about me, so I know he likes me too. It’s so weird - what can I do here.

Thanks,

Hey Cutie

Ok - why do you ladies love such lame guys? You need a manly man in your life, not a wuss. You need a kind of man that can share his love with multiple ladies, you need a kind of man who knows how to eat his vegetables, you need a man who’s not afraid to ask to borrow your breasts. You need a Sunohara kind of man. Think about it, if he’s afraid to just talk to you, what’s gonna happen when you try to kiss him? Is he gonna start crying? Plus what’s gonna happen on your date? You won’t be able to talk to him. He’ll just stare at you… creepy if you ask me. My advice is just to stay far far away here.

(Asuna’s editors note - I’m gonna disagree with erotic king of romance here. Kira knew a guy from high school that was such a player, and dated tons. When this guy was in his 2^nd year of College he met this girl he really, really liked. The dude liked this girl so much that he couldn’t talk to her at all. He would start to sweat and stumble around whenever she was around. Eventually Kira just ended up introducing them, and things worked out - they got married last year. What I would suggest doing here is to break this barrier that he has up. Try to get his email address and email him and let him know you’re interested. Hopefully he’ll be less shy the next you met, and will be more comfortable talking to you.)
