Well i dont see anything wrong with this .. your 20 and hes 35 .. nothing wrong there .. i think its a good idea that your parents meet him over dinner :) it will take time for them to get over the age diff but nothing major .. good luck! x

Lots of times, people are bad at guaging age and people seem younger than their years (especially those who can "date younger"). 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...
