Will this older man take me seriously in the future?

I'm almost 17 years old and he's almost 35. This Fall will mark the third year of my feelings for him. After I was no longer his student he was okay w/ seeing me/chatting for a few hours online/public places, and I always had 1 friend w/ me, when we met up(and he knew I liked him). We had a healthy and friendly relationship...I never told my parents I was still in contact with him because I believed they wouldn't be accepting of this. One day I did, and after that day I was no longer allowed to hang w/ him ...I told him and I was upset when I did. Now he won't hang out w/ me and has just about disappeared from my life. It's just really frustrating b/c the attention I received was a pretty above and beyond to me, I was happy he seemed cool w me. Maybe it was kindness/sympathy? I really just want to move on but at the same time, have my way. If you were in his shoes would you see me as a friend after I was 18? ..Maybe date me when i was in my early 20s? We got along well..I hate that the little friendship we had has dwindled away :/
