He has a steady job, will be applying for classes at college in the fall, a car, and wants to do everything he can to make me happy and to be with me. yesterday he said "all i wanted was to be with you on my birthday. i miss you so much" and he alwaaaays says cute things to me, telling me how beautiful and amazing i am and that he would do anything to be with me. soo my question is, what should i say to my mother to get her to give him a chance despite the age?

Not much to say to let her give him a chance. Honestly that has more to do with how YOU act than how he acts. If your mother knows you are responsible, mature and take good care of yourself, she will be easier to win over. If you however are lazy, don't do your school work, have a bad reputation, lie often, etc etc (not to be mean just generally speaking), she will have no good reason to trust your judgment and it will be near impossible to have her accept your new boyfriend.
