Things were going really well in our relationship until he asked me out. I REALLY wanted to say yes but I knew my parents wouldn't approve and I don't like being dishonest. So, I told him no and tried to explain why I said no. Anyways, I saw him the next day and things were really awkward, but he wasn't rude to me or anything. Then, I called him on Monday just to make sure that he understood why I said no and tried to explain again. I don't think I explained myself well that time either. I want to still be together and just wait for a while until we decide to be in a bf/gf relationship. I'm afraid of trying to talk to him again because I've tried twice and I always initiate the conversation. Basically, does he need space or does he not want me to be around him anymore?

 It's a hard situation. IN a few years 16-18 won't be any difference at all but right now it is huge.
I get why your parents are concerned.
IF you are not bf/gf right now and just friends... just give him a bit of time and room...
take your time being friends... let your parents get to know him as your friend... only have him over when you have cleared it with them and they are home... then DO NOT go and be private in a room that has a door or anything.
Let mom and dad get to know him as your friend... JUST your friend...

Well I believe that you explained your situation to him the best you could so you did nothing wrong and if he didn't understand what you was trying to explain to him then he obviously is not the one for you but that doesn't mean give you because you should always follow your heart and do what you think is right

Don't give in ever, he wants sex and we know it.
If he really liked you he would have understood you.
