Advice plz

So i’m 16 and a Junior in high school, i dated this guy beginning of freshman year to beginning of sophomore year (so ab a year). We broke up cause we just never really talked or had good communication at all. Recently him and I have been talking again for awhile and we’ve snuck around and hung out a few times now but I didn’t wanna sneak around anymore and i wanted to tell my parents, cause i had talked to most my friends and they said if I’m happy then go for it and we’ve been talking for like almost two months now and there haven’t been any red flags. And if either of us get annoyed ab something or get upset or something we talk ab it (which used to never happen before, before we would just ignore each other) But my parents are super super against it and say no to anything i say ab him. Like asking to hangout or if i say i’m on ft with him they get mad and idk what to do cause I really would like to see where this goes and i know high school relationships don’t last really ever but i’d really like to just see where this goes. And in every relationship there’s a lesson to learn and in our past relationship I believe that i have learned my lesson and it was to not let other walk all over me and to not stay quiet if my emotions get hurt. My stepdads main reason is that “he was a guy in high school once so he knows what this guy wants from me” which doesn’t really make since cause if i where asking to hang out with any other guy he wouldn’t really care and my mom just doesn’t want me to get hurt again but i honestly believe that this guy wouldn’t do anything to intentionally hurt me and it seems like he actually genuinely cares. So what should I do/say to try to get though to them or should i just give up on this guy?
