Hi, I think you'd better have a talk with your parents though they think it odd that you dating a man who is a big older than you. I have met a guy who is 12 years older than me at Agematch.com and I also met the disapproval from my father. I simply told my dad that I had thought long and hard on the age difference and had come to terms with it. I assured my guy that it was not a decision that I entered into lightly. My father respected my decision and never questioned me about it further. So have a try, hope you everything goes well.

sexi agony auntHi

How much older is this guy? You should just be honest and straight with them. I am 19 and my bf is 30. He makes me really happy and at first my parents never agreed but then they finally accepted it.They now see how happy he make me. Speak to whichever parent you feel most comfortable speaking to. You can also write them a letter. I know waht you are experiencing, i went through the exact same thing. It may take some time but if you are willing and determined, then you and your bf can conquer this obstacle.

Regards,mail me if you wanna talk, i can realte to what you are going through

yeahitsgreat agony auntyour family is going to always look out for your best intrest, so maybe meeting him, or letting them know he is a good careing boy who will treat you the right way. if they see he is not in it for sex and honestly into you and wants to make you happy they will love him as much as you do. they all have something in common they care about you, so they could all agree on that at least

masquerade711 agony auntIf you're truly in love with him and he makes you happy, they should support you, no matter what his age. Just be honest. They may find it hard to deal with at first, but they'll come around with time. :)

leanne.od agony auntit's difficult but be honest. that's the only way, if you are going to be with this man make them see age is just a number and means very little against the amount of love you feel for this guy.

good luck
