 Hi.
As others have said age doesn't matter, its how you feel about someone that matters and your relationship together. My boyfriend is 40 and I'm 24. At first I was worried about the age gap of 16 years, but we've been together nearly 2 years and I don't think of the age difference as a problem. It is just part of the dynamic. I have a friend who was your age when she met her husband and he was 9 years older also. At first there were worries about what her parents thought and about what his parents thought about her. But now they are happily married with a baby girl.
If you love someone and they love you, you can make it work, no matter what the circumstances.
Have you spoken to your parents about him? If they know how you feel about him they may well be understanding, even if it takes them a little time. If they aren't understanding you are an adult at the end of the day and it is your life. Do what makes you happy!
Good luck :)

 I was 18 and my first husband was 26. We went on to have two children, and never thought about the age difference.
True, we did eventually divorce, but it had nothing to do with his age! If anything it was more his immaturity...cheating and drinking that split us up. I have also been married to a man who was six years younger than me. Again, never a thought of the age difference. He passed away two years ago.
As Anonymous NF has said, love has no age!
