my mom has me promised me to a probably currently 30 yr old man and im only 16

first post ever , context will be kinda short since uh the title is basically it . as of now im 16F

the first time it was ever brought up was when i was around 12-11 i think, at the time my mom had just picked me up from school and i had finally gathered up the courage to tell her about a boy that i’ve been crushing on at school since like the 3rd grade and she IMMEDIATELY told me to dismiss my feelings because she said she already had someone good for me in mind who was CURRENTLY in med school to become a doctor. i immediately was like “what the hell i dont wanna be with a dude thats way older than me??” and we quickly got into a short argument which ended with her saying i couldn’t date at ALL until i met this guy - obviously, i didn’t listen to her at all and have dated 2 people in the past behind her back

now up until recently i haven’t really brung it up directly to her because she gets so quickly defensive about it and i’ve been silently hoping that she “forgot” or changed her mind about it , but a few weeks ago i happened to be on call with one of my male friends and playing a game with him, she walks by my door and goes “who the hell is that your talking with?” i immediately go on mute and simply tell her its just one of my friends, she calls me to her room and proceeds to go “don’t even try it, don’t you remember what i told you?” and ever since that i’ve been really, REALLY bothered about it

basically i’m making this post to ask how do i convince my mom to let me date freely and secondly, thats its NOT okay for her to entrust me to a older adult man while im a minor and that i want nothing to do with him at all?? 🫩🫩
