Boyfriend

I really need everyone's opinion. I have this guy in my life who has been my best friend for a while. We have caught feelings for each other and he makes me feel really special. like I sent him a photo of a new outfit I bought for vacation and he goes "DAMN MAMI I SEE YOU" and he is always extra to make me feel special and yet he still respects my boundaries. Sad part about this is, I'm 15, and he's 17. He is super respectful, he is nice to me, and he makes me feel special. We would really like to date but I'm so afraid about my parents. My parents are 14 years apart in age (my mom is 44 and my dad is 58) but I feel like they would never allow it. (they are pretty strict) Please help. I don't know what to do.
