Introducing Your Date to Mom by Zodiac Sign

Look to your mother's Sun sign when you bring home your date

by Sally Philips

What does Mom want? For you to be happy! So she's sure to start sizing up your date from the get-go. All of her sensors will be out to determine whether this new person is good enough for her wonderful daughter or son. To help your date make a great first impression, take a look at your mom's Sun sign and follow these tips on how to win her over.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
This take-charge mom has pushed herself (and you?) all of her life. She knows what she wants and what you should want too. Tell your date to be careful not to get sucked into competition with her. As long as she isn't crossed, you can count on this mom to bring a lively spark of energy to any gathering.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Since your mom loves luxury, you've probably enjoyed a stable and comfortable home life. She's patient and tolerant most of the time, but if you push her too far, watch out! Forewarn your date to let your mom have her way if she starts digging in her heels. And if you know of any topics to avoid, don't forget to mention those.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Forever young, your mom may look like she's the same generation as your date -- and act like it too. Geminis never really grow up, which makes them a lot of fun. Prepare your date for a lot of fast-paced chatter. If a shopping trip to a mall or market is a possibility, your mom really shines during this type of outing.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Since this sign rules motherhood, Cancers make some of the most nurturing moms. You probably enjoyed tender loving care growing up, while resenting her over-protectiveness from time to time. Don't be surprised if she tries to mother your date as well. Just play into it and you'll have a comfy, cozy time together.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Charismatic, warm, generous ... that's your Leo mom. Your best strategy is to put her on a pedestal and let her be the center of attention. You and your date could be in for a trip down memory lane: Mom loves dragging out baby pictures and bragging about your achievements.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
This common sense mom wants a perfect life for her children, so she'll immediately start cross-examining your date to find out if he or she makes the grade. Then she'll boss both of you around. Tell your date to just smile and do what your mom says -- it's usually good advice anyway.
