Do you think it means anything when a guy says his mom said hi?

[Simslover92]

I'm trying not to read too much into it especially since we were previously together and now are just friends, but I still kind of wonder why he would still talk to his mom about me if we are just friends.

Maybe it's nothing and I'm just overthinking it.

After a girlfriend and I split up, I would watch our dog when she would visit her parents out of state. She would always tell me that they said "hi" and her dad actually sent me a bottle of my favorite alcohol a couple times. It means that his mom liked you and probably still does. Just like my girlfriend's parents and I liked each other. And since you and her son were an item, she probably asks if he ever hears from you, if he told her he does, she probably said to say "hi", the next time you and him talk.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. Yeah that's true. You're probably right.

[ohsheeT]

Yes it means he trying to incorporate his mother in to your chat to let you know who he is. Or he's painting a picture kind of himself , so you look at him , different it means that he likes you and he's going to pull out every stop that he can do or think of to bring you in

I think it's a casual comment from a casual conversation: "Oh I was talking to Betty about going to Tunisia yesterday to get her opinion." "How is she?" "Good." "Tell her I said hi." And the rest of the Tunisia conversation and what you thought about his trip would have been included.

My son is not friends with former girlfriends, so I've not had the opportunity to give any such greetings. But I've conveyed said to other friends of his. Would do the same if they were male or female.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. I just found it strange because he hasn't really said that since we were together. But perhaps it's just a casual comment. I won't read too much into it.

[Abbycado]

Have you met his mom yet?

[Simslover92]

No I was supposed to but we never got around to it before he broke up with me.

[Simslover92]

He's met my family though

[Abbycado]

I would say that is a good sign, in my opinion. That means he is discussing you with his mom and wants her to know about who you are, etc.

[Simslover92]

That's what I was thinking as well.

[Abbycado]

I can give you a similar situation when I met my boyfriend. Not sure if it will help, given that we definitely wanted to date and were never in a friends type relationship.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok sure.

[Abbycado]

So, when we first started seriously dating, I only expected that he would have told his parents. I told mine. Kinda a natural thing to alert your family to since both of us are hours away from home.

What I hadn't expected was the time we were hanging out and his mom called. She wanted to officially "meet" me, as it were, by saying hi on the phone. What followed was a discussion about all sorts of stuff me and him had been doing. Dates, hanging out, social events, going to the gym together, etc.

I was like holy crap. He tells her like every single thing we do together. Mind you, we were in a relationship but the fact this guy you are asking about has said anything is a good sign. Guys don't do that if they aren't excited about the person, in my opinion.

[Simslover92]

Wow that's awesome that you guys had a discussion about all of that. That meant he was and is really really into you and cares about you deeply.

I think you're right though because guys don't do that really if they aren't excited about the person.

[Abbycado]

Yeah, I was kinda taken aback talking to her the first time. In my head, I was thinking wow he must literally talk about me and what we do together every time they speak.

Totally agree. No guy that I have known are going to say that to their mom unless they are excited. Think about it. You know how moms are. They are going to assume that their son bringing up a girl means something. Now, if you were longterm friends, I'd say meh. That isn't the case tho.

[Simslover92]

Right it's not.

And that's so sweet and awesome that she knew so much about you. He indeed was talking about you a lot!

[Abbycado]

Yeah, so, I wouldn't discount what you have going on as "nothing" at the moment. That's my three cents. XD

[Simslover92]

Thanks! I won't! XD

[Abbycado]

Ty for mho!

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

[MontBlanc]

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t.

It can be simple politeness , his mom genuinely said hi.
But it can also signal comfort mentioning you at home, which means you’re at least on his mind.

The meaning depends on context and pattern. One comment = neutral. Repeated mentions = more personal.

[Finchie40]

It means he talked about you to his mom and he more than likely spoke highly of you , so he is letting you know his Mom approves of you as well

[msc545]

I think it means that his mother sent her regards to you. Not everything is complicated.

[Simslover92]

That's true. I'm not going to overthink it.

[DarKnight36]

Her mother loved you very much. She was a thoughtful woman.

[Simslover92]

Yeah I think so too. She was going to help me get a library job down there actually when we were still together.

[Simslover92]

Where he lives because we are 2 hours away from each other

[DarKnight36]

What a kind and thoughtful woman she was. But thankfully, it's all over now. You're just friends, and maybe your boyfriend just made a comment, or maybe his mother should have called and asked how he was doing, right?

[DarKnight36]

These kinds of things can also be games that are easily accessible. I think if her mother knew you well and liked you, she might even send you a message. ?

[Simslover92]

She doesn't have my number. We didn't meet. We were supposed to meet but we never got around to that.

[DarKnight36]

Then there's nothing you can do.

[queenofcardio]

His mom probably asked about you and told him to say hi to you.

[Rangers]

It means she approves of you, that's pretty high praise. Ladies don't approve 1 of 100 girls their boys date

[Shiprex]

No it probably means his mother liked you and told him to ask about you.

[exitseven]

you are overthinking. i imagine you are very nice and his mother always liked you.

[Kieramindy]

Maybe he’s planning to elope, so be careful.

[NathanDavis]

don't overthink about it
