strict parents

Lex
So I'm 17 years old the guy I'm talking to is 17 but he goes to a different school like two minutes away from where I go. He asked me if he could pick me up Saturday and go on a date and I asked my parents, my mom didn't mind but my dad wasn't for it because he said I don't know him, which I have met him once and he was really nice. My parents are really strict.. how can I get my dad to change is mind?
