you show up to a first date with cookies and say "my mom made these", you're going to be lucky to even get a first date.

it's a bright red flag.

    Not really, it's entirely context dependent like most things in life

    Yes. Honestly even if they were grown up I would first put this in the “still has good relationship with local mom” column, a rare green flag these days. Only if part of a larger pattern of dysfunction would I treat it as a red flag.

    But OOP is likely (A) a teenager, because moms don’t usually know anything about their adult kid’s vehicle, and (B) a boy, because this is obvious boomer humor. A mom knowing about their teenage son’s date is expected.

    The gift of cookies just means she likes the gf and wants her to know. Green flag only.
