Relationships

​I'm nearly 17 year old  last year I met a lad that was older than me by 6 years no one agreed with us to be together and told us to separate I start meeting different lad but I didn't give up on the older one and I still kept seeying him . In around April we got together but for a month I didn't go out to my friends I spend every single moment of my life with him he got over protective and controlling we split up cause my mam said were better off motto be together I got back meeting the same lad last year who's my age. I tried to stay friends with the older one it it doesn't work out he keeps telling me he loves me but I don't know should I buy it anymore he's sometimes annoying and sometimes I miss him WHAT SHOULD I DO?! PLEASE GIVE SOME ADVICE :(
