'Graffiti', xkcd
"This graffiti is
fleeting human contact
both of us lost,
but for a moment
we're lost together.
I wonder who you are."

You're totally right, this is the 21st century and this relationship is between the two of you, not your parents or anyonelse. It's not their business, it's your business. It's difficult to start up a relationship and figuring out how you're going to make it work and what kind of dynamic you're going with, without people butting in and telling you that you should be friends... And yes, your father telling you: Now you are just friends because I do not approve, is highly ridiculous. He's not the one dating your guy, you are. And that's final.
This is your life, you're the one who's met him, talked to him, known him for the last 4 yours and so you should know best whether it's time to move on from the friendship phase and invest in something new. Something that can be really awesome and wonderful!
Just go on with life! Keep living it your way because it's your life. If your parents want to remain narrow-minded and old-fashioned to a ridiculous degree, you should try not to let that get to you. *hugs*
