I'm a 32 year old guy as well and I'll be honest with you, I wouldn't even consider dating a girl under 25, definitely not a teenager. Usually when men that age go after a girl your age it's with the intent of exploitation. Exploiting your lack of experience in life and your trust. I'm not saying that is his intent, but I'm saying from my experience guys that go after much younger girls aren't exactly honest.

I can understand your parents concerns, probably because they look at it the same way I do, they think he's trying to take advantage of you. Now I'm not saying that is the case with this guy, he may be a great guy with nothing but the best intentions, but your parents apprehension is totally normal even if it doesn't make much sense to you.

Has he done anything like bought you alcohol or drugs? Tried to drive a wedge between you and your parents? Does he speak down to you because of your age and act like he always has all of the answers? I only ask because these can be controlling behaviors, another thing older men who seek far younger women often display.
