Hi Mom

Hello my boy. How are things with you?

Things are good. How are you?

Good good. How are your friends? Your male friends and your female friends.

They are all good. How are you doing?

I'm doing well, all thanks to God. Are you seeing anyone right now? How are things in that arena?

No I'm not seeing anyone right now mom.

Are you not interested in any of your female friends or what's the issue?

There is no issue. I'm just not interested in a relationship.

You are not interested for now or?

I'm not interested at the moment.

Can I ask you a question? Pardon me for asking. You know I'm your mom so you can open up to me.

Yes mom, I know you're my mom. Ask your question.

I hope you are not having any problem as a complete man? Are there any problems in that arena?

What do you mean by "complete man"?

Do you not know what it means to be complete as a man?

Complete can mean many things, mom. What do you mean by complete?

You know what I mean.

Are you asking if I'm having problems with sex?

Yes. I know you've had a girlfriend in the past but I just wanted to confirm you're not having any problem in that area.

No mom. I just said I'm not interested in a relationship. It doesn't mean I can't have sex.

No, I know it doesn't mean that. I just wanted to confirm that is not a problem. I know you have your personal reasons for not wanting a relationship and you don't have to tell me those reasons. Afterall, you are an adult. I understand. I just wanted to confirm.

Alright.

I am curious. Why do you not want a relationship? Do you not find women attractive anymore? Or you just haven't found anyone you like?

I have found people I like. I just don't want to be in a relationship right now.

Ok I'm just asking so I can know where to direct my prayers. As long as you are meeting people, I am ok with that. Hopefully, you will find someone soon.

Why does it matter if I'm with someone or not?

Don't say such things. You will find someone by God's grace.

Will I become a complete man in your eyes then?
