Is befriending someone's parent a way to get to know them better?

[Itslunam8]

Especially with men, if a girl/guy who you don't have a relationship with but casually know starts to talk and be friends with you mother, do you see yourself getting the urge to know them better?

And for woman, if I guy/girl does this, do you also feel like you can trust them?

Though this might help if the person is close to the parent, it will turn that person off if closeness doesn't exist. You don't want to do this with parents who meddle in the lives of their children. People often have challenging relationships with their parents, so there are many more effective ways to spark someone's interest than this particular choice. If in doubt, pass on this opportunity.

As long as you two are in a one-one committed relationship anf you two have spoken about.
