I (18F) like a guy (19M) and my parents aren’t very happy, what is the Godly response?

For some context, my parents pay for my entire education at university since I am an international student and they would never cut me off, but they do still bankroll me and I am very Very grateful. My parents and I are first generation immigrants and were very close, partky because I’m an only child as well. The deal was that I couldn’t date during my a levels but that I could at university, however they seem to have gone back on their word.

I recently became friends with a guy Ive known for ages but haven’t been close with. We spent a lot of time together and we have become close and we’ve developed feelings for each other. We’ve been casually seeing each other for a few months now, going on dates and he’s recently expressed how he’s in it for the long haul and wants to pursue a serious relationship with me.

My parents have now moved the goalpost and dont want me to date until after my undergrad is over. I do not know what to do because I want to love and honour my parents but I really like this guy and hes Christian and fits everything I want in a partner. What do I do?
