Why not tell your parents you'd like to introduce them to someone special... have a get together or outing of some sort and let them get to know him a bit and have him charm them as he did you, before bringing up the age thing (I doubt that, upon sight of him, they'd immediately, tactlessly, demand his age!).Maybe the subject won't come up for a while... if they like grow to like him, when it does come up, they'd be much more accepting...-Tante Victoire
