Don't jump into anything. Keep them as good friends.
Often teens want to jump into a bf/gf relationship and it ends up they hate each other because they weren't ready for it.

Can you please get into your situation a little more specific so I can answer accordingly?
There was this one guy that I've liked and talked to for a while. And he is just barley 2 years older than me. I liked him so much that I actually thought I would tell my parents about him. I thought they would be totally cool with it and like the fact that I care enough to let them know these things. But boy was I wrong. When I told them they pretty much flipped out and talked to each other and said no I couldn't date him. When they told me that I was so mad because I told this guy I liked him and I really cared About him and could actually see us working out, and now out of the blue I just had to end it with him. I know it was probably for the best but I really miss him now! All I can think about is the time we spent together and when he held me and hugged me and when we kissed. I miss all that but most importantly I miss him! So much!! But my parents won't allow it! What should I do?
You should respect your parents' wishes. They want what's best for you, and since you can't financially support yourself, it would be in your best interest to follow their words.
For now, get to know the guy better as a friend. Maybe when you're older things will be able to work out romantically between you. Or, you'll find someone else that's a better match.
In either case, it's not the end of the world. You have a lot of living, and a lot of other people to meet still.
Why do your parents dislike him?
Is it religion? Is it because he's a different race? What about his appearance; does he have a lot of tattoos, piercings, does he have long hair..
Talk to your parents. Tell them that you at least would like to be friends with him. If he's a good guy, chances are your family will warm up to him and give you the green light.
Keep your head up:)

Some age differences are very critical
18 yr old boy 16yr old girl critical
23 yr old boy 21 yr old girl not so much why?

The OP has had many problems with her parents.
What you need to do is show your parents that you are mature. But before you show them, you have to learn to be more mature first. Reading some self-help books can help.
