Why would a guy friend want to meet my mom?

[Anonymous]

so we have been making plans to hangout and he said to me out of no where that he wants to meet my mom to ask for permission for me to hangout with him. Is that normal? Does he like me?

This is old-school decorum and this is a big move. This means he likes you and respects your parents enough to earn their trust with you.
Again, very old school, most people these days probably don't realize this was a thing.
