View Full Version : How can I bring this up to my friends mom?

So last summer when I hung out with my friend, his mom and I were talking and she said that they want to take me out on their boat. She said this multiple times last summer, and when I saw him recently, she never mentioned the boat at all.

So when I see him this summer (he goes to school out of state and only comes during holidays and summer), how can I respectfully ask if I'm still going to go on their boat with them? How can I ask without inviting myself? I wouldn't be inviting myself, cause she's mentioned it to me several times last summer, but I still don't want to impose on them or make it sound like I'm inviting myself.

I think she was probably just saying it to make conversation, and totally forgot about what she said. One of my friends parents did this to me too, she said I should come camping with them, but of course I never did go. I'd say just ignore it. If you do want to ask though, just casually bring it up in a sentence. I mean, you are friends, and what kind of friends would you be if you can't open up to each other?

I'm also close to his mom, because our families are pretty close. At first I thought that too, but she even brought it up with my dad. So should I just say "Are we still going to be going on your boat that you mentioned last summer?" Please feel free to edit and make it sound better and nicer

Well you could always do the coward thing (I have to say I've done this before :P) and just tell your parents, and let them bring it up with your friends parents, since adults generally talk I see no reason why it wouldn't be ok for your parents to ask on your behalf.

If you want to ask them yourself then go ahead, I see no reason not to. As if one question could ruin a friendship.

I do that a lot. Maybe I can get him to do it or have me say something so it doesn't sound bad.

Dude, it meant she wanted you.

Just kidding.

In all honesty, just ask if the offer is still up. I'm sure she won't mind you asking if you're close with her and her son.

;) lol jk


This is one of the best answers, thanks.

I think I'll say something Ike "are we still going on the boat this summer? Cause I remember last summer you said we were going to but our schedules got too busy?" Does that sound good?

That is pretty rude. We arent here to judge.

Just ask. Worst she could do is say no and kick you out her house.

Just ask. She could have forgotten. You can say "Do you remember when you said I could go boating with you? Does that offer still stand?" and just hope for the best. Boating is fun so if you do go have fun dude!!!
