Don't lie to your parents, that's never a smart thing to do. Tell them his age honestly, and they *might* be willing to allow you to go out with him anyway, and if not, you've only got two years til you can do so as a legal adult  |

Tell the truth, they'll find out eventually. No point in breaking their trust as it will take a long time to rebuild it and cause bad feeling in the family.  |

I am 16 going on 17 in a couple weeks and I am dating a 21 year old. I didn't want to tell my parents because I know my mom didn't care for it but I knew my dad would freak out. I did tell them though and after my parents talked it over they are cool with it no wthough. In the beginning my dad said no no no right away. So now he is meeting my parents this weekend :)  |

consider this , say it works out and you lied to your parents about his age , later when yous come to your parents for whatever reason and they find out about this lie . do you think they will have respect or believe in you both after lieing to them ?  |

i find that if you are honest about things, your parents are more willing to listen. if you lie and they find out anyway (which they WILL! another thing i learned the hard way was that parents always find out everything!) then odds are they will forbid you from ever seeing him again. they will also think you are lying for him and that will make a bad impression of him. just be honest and try to get them to see your side of it.  |

Tell them the truth. 3 years at that age isn't too mubh of a difference in my opinion, and if the guy is a good guy then all should be fine. What people have already said is very true, its better to let your parents know than to lie and get caught out later. That way, at least they will know you are responsible enough to tell them the truth, which may help to convince them.  |

Tell your parents the truth. I don't think its a bad idea though for you to be with him, just as long as he treats you right. ~Aradia~  |

I don't think he's too old for you, but don't lie to your parents. It'll just make them not trust you if and when they find out.  |

If they ask I would tell them the truth, they'll eventually find out anyway. Maybe if they meet him first then they'll be okay with it? That way they can make their own judgements and possibly see that he's a good guy.  |

Tell the truth, they'll be more mad if you lie to them about it. I dated a guy 3 years older then me,but before we started dating, my mom got to know him well, liked him alot, and let me date him.  |
