Need advice from all my Christian woman..

Im going to try and make this short but a bit of a back story..

About almost 4 years ago I started talking to this guy through social media , when we started talking to me it was just a friendship, my intentions were just to be friends and nothing more over the course of talking I began to grow feelings and when I noticed this was happening I began to pray about it because I didn’t want to continue feeling something for this guy if it wasn’t going to be something that could work out. Over the course of time my feelings for him began to grow and ended up telling me which he confessed he had been having feelings for me too. We both grew up Christian and we still want to go about our relationship based on what we know God wants from us. We talked about surrounding our relationship around God and praying about it. When we talked about starting our relationship he had told me that he didn’t want to tell his parents just yet because of the nature of our relationship being that it all started through social media which I understood (btw he’s 26 and I’m 27) Fast forward up to 3 days go he told his mom about us and as expected she didn’t talle it well and thinks it’s not healthy for the both of us which then they also talked about considering it may not work because it might not be something God will allow for us. Now I understand that but I know what I feel for him as well as he knows what he feels for me. I want to continue our relationship and still surround it around God and do everything right which is why we wanted his parents to know about us, thought I know it took time for him to tell them, his mom is just more concern it’s long distance.

What I guess I’m asking here is what do you guys think as far as if it will work or not?

I believe in my heart it will if we both want this and if we both are willing to but I feel like based on everything his mom told him he doesn’t know.
