I agree - don't tell your mother that you are going on a date. It will only upset her and make her fear that she will lose you. If a relationship with a man gets serious, then would be the time to tell you mother and quickly assure her that you are still committed to your relationship with her as well.
Most people show anger when they are afraid. Sincere reassurance can make the situation much much better.
i would say NOT to tell her when you are out with a man, Just explain that you are going out. Period. Her fear is that she will lose you and your companionship with her if you find someone you can be close with, understand that- and you should be able to live as much of a life as you can while still reassuring her of your commitment and concern for her.
