It's completely understandable to feel uncertain or uncomfortable when a new person enters your family dynamic. Adjusting to a parent's new partner can take time, and it's natural to want to get to know them before forming an opinion. Your feelings are valid, and you’re not wrong for not being overly enthusiastic immediately.
It's also important to maintain respect, especially towards someone who is important to your mom. You can be polite without feeling pressured to like him right away. Communication with your mom about your feelings might help her understand your perspective better, and potentially ease some of the expectations she has for your relationship with him. Take your time to get to know him at your own pace.
