Depending on how old you are as well as factors affecting the boy this can be wholly appropriate or a considerably problem.
The best method of approach here is to directly tell your mother in a mature and honest fashion and tell her precisely how you are feeling. This will require some level of tact, however honesty is the best policy.
The reason which this is advisable is that, if you are able to show a level of maturity and trust with your mother, it is more likely that she will be able to treat you with respect and trust. Situations of this nature are frequently predicated upon you earning the trust of your mother and showing her that this is something you are ready for.
The necessary level of tact is that you want to be mature to your mother, however there is no need to shock her either. This depends entirely upon how old you are, how protective and conservative you mother is. You should ideally find a way to express your feelings without terrifying your mother or forcing the thought of her daughter growing up too fast.
The final piece of advice I can recommend would be to suggest and work to introduce your mother to this boy so that she can get to know him, what he is like, how he treats you, his mentality towards women, etc. If this is something that you are adverse to for honest reasons (you are afraid she wont like him because of issues with him) then you should find a different boy that has the right mentality and attitude.
best of luck.
