It was a simple text this morning asking where mom draws the line with her daughter's boyfriend... that's what one mother wanted to know. Her daughter insists on always bringing her boyfriend to everything...yet having the mom pay! So, that's what The Mike & Carla Morning Show wanted to find out...where do you draw the line?

So, that's what was brought up this morning in hopes of helping this mother-daughter relationship. You can imagine how a lot of parents replied. Most of them said that you have to draw the line ASAP! Mike O'Brian, father of two daughters, had no problem drawing the line early with his two girls. It's not that you don't like the kid, you just have to be fair to your family.

"We need to draw the line with the daughter's boyfriend!"

Now keep in mind, we're talking about a daughter who is 25 and living on her own. They have only been dating for a year. It's not so much him coming to everything as we come to find out, he's not offering to chip in when the bill comes. You at least have to offer to pay the tip right?

One woman gave a nice solution, if she extends the invite, then it's fine. If not, then it's "family" time. Oh, and when your seated for dinner out, if you haven't already, draw the line right then and there. Some people thought the line should be drawn when the invite is extended.

But if you've been in this situation, where is it that you draw the line with boyfriends and/or girlfriends? As we said before, it's not like you don't want them around, but there needs to be some sort of guidelines in place. Like any other situation, when you go out to dinner or on a vacation, who's paying for what?

Check out the segment from this morning and see if most listeners were on point...and enjoy!

The Best Cities To Meet Someone; Las Vegas Ranks Or Tanks

The best cities to meet someone. Las Vegas places on the list for dating.

Love is a sacred thing that we hope all get to experience at some point in their life. From a young age we witness and learn about love from our elders. We have seen love in different forms and the adventures that it can take people on. As we grow older we learn that love is important and that it's hard to survive without it. The world seems more bleak without a little flare of love.

Finding ones true love is for the fairytales. Or is not? We have seen or heard of the Disney movies that show happily ever afters and to tell you the truth it's possible to find that in real life.

What is "that" though? That is a relationship where you mesh easy with someone based on their personality, looks and overall connection. Dating apps have made it easier in the twenty-first century in finding our other half. So that we think. There are apps like Tinder and Bumble that generally show you photos of singles that are in your local area. The tiring "swipe right" only does so well until you run out of potentials in your area.

Best cities to meet someone!

Our friends at Shane Co, conducted a survey on the best places in the U.S. for a Meet-Cute. What is a meet-cute? ShaneCo.com states, "In a movie, a meet-cute is a scene where two people who have a romantic future together interact with each other for the first time, usually under quirky or unusual circumstances." So if you're out and about look around as your other half could be a lot closer than you think.

Below you will find some of the best cities to meet someone in. Surprisingly, even with Las Vegas growing over 2 million residents and with an influx of tourists on the daily a shot of love still exists.
