I have strict parents and they are not allowing me to date anybody until I'm 18

Basically, I met this guy last semester of school, and I've known that he liked me from the start. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked him, but as I started to hang out with him more this semester, I started to like him too. We both share the same interests, and we're good friends, but I know that he wants to be more than that. The problem is that I have strict parents and they are not allowing me to date anybody until I'm 18 and he's a senior, which means we'll be parting ways after this school year ends. I've already told him previously about my situation about my strict parents, but it seems that he still wants to be more, and again, I can't be more than friends because it's not in my options right now. I really like to still be friends to him, but I also fear that if I told him about this, he'll start to hate me or something. Secretly dating is also not my option but if you guys can respond fast, that would be really helpful. I'm really tired of being in this situation and my parents are getting suspicious between us, even though we aren't really doing anything but just being friends. What do I do now?

What are the signs that a guy is interested in you?
I don't know if the guy I like likes me back. I got the quiz result "He might be forming a crush" but that doesn't make me feel very confident. I want him to ask me out but I don't know how to tell if he's interested in me. He's my friend and I don't want to ruin our friendship if he doesn't like me back. How do I tell if he likes me?
