He just turned 29.I am not one for age if its reasonable like this....but how am I suppose to tell my parents? I dont want them to judge me or him. Him and I are goth...but my parents dont really like that but they have learned to live with it. It makes it better since he is Christian and my parents are always saying find a nice Christian guy...which he is.So how whould I go about telling them? I dont want to just jump into it...

Provided you started seeing him after you turned 18, you're are an adult and free to make your own decisions.

 Just tell them. As long as you started dating after you turned 18, I don't see a problem.
I'll give you this warning though. A 29 year old guy is in a completely different place in his life then you are. No matter how mature he may tell you that you are, 10 years of life experience gives you a perspective that can be difficult to comprehend. While you aren't a child now, think back 10 years. Did you know then what you do now? Nope. It's the same when you're 30. I know plenty more now then I did when I was 20. That's life.
As long as you're happy together, that's the important thing. I'm just usually wary of someone's intentions when they date someone significantly younger than them. One of those life lessons I've learned.

 Do they even know you have a boyfriend? You don't have to tell them his age right off the bat. Just introduce him and let them get to know him, so they can see what it is you fell in love with. Then you can tell them how old he is, once he's won them over!
You're an adult, you can make your own decisions. Do you still live at home, is that part of the issue here? I think you just need to be brave and let them meet him.
Good luck.

 I met my boyfriend 2 years ago when I had just turned 19 and he was 32.
My parents were OK with it, because they support the decisions I make.
If you are serious about this guy I am sure your parents will accept it. I have just turned 21 and he is about to turn 34 and we are still happy and together and my family are fine with it because he is a nice guy and looks after me!
I hope this helps! x

wish you luck
