 Why is he 'out of your league', how do you mean?
And how old are you to be taking everything your parents say as gospel truth.
Anyway they are probably just trying to protect you.

 What then, is he a drug-dealer, armed robber, ex-con or what?
If not a seedy character, and is a kind, honest boy with integrity who treats you with all the respect you deserve, then good luck to you. Do try to find out exactly why they object so strongly to him - have they heard somewhere about some kind of bad reputation he has, or is it just plain, old fashioned snobbery? You are a good and sensible daughter, are you not, and if you have a sound character and have proven to them in other ways that you have made sensible life choices, well, they cannot complain. Give them a bit of time to get to know him better, and I'm sure once they see how blissfully happy you are, they won't have a leg to stand on. Take care, chick, hang on in there - and be happy!

Go for it if you have really falling for him and he makes you happy then stick with him because if you don't you will regret it.You are a grown up and you have your own mind so don't listen to what your parents say,you don't need your parents approval to be with him.

 Hi,sometimes you have to go with your heart,but on the uther hand it depends on how old you are,if you are at a young age maby it might be wiser to listen to your perants.But at the end of the day your perants are not stopping you from seeing him. so do what you feel is right.At the end of the day you know whats best for you.

matters how you feel about him. They are only jealous of you. They know you have done better then they ever could just laugh about it and be happy with him.
