How do I deal with strict parents when it comes to dating?

Anonymous
I am 18 but still live with my parents since I just graduated high school. Recently, I started dating this awesome guy but my parents are so strict about me seeing him. My mom doesn't like the idea because I met him online. My dad doesn't know where I met him but is still super strict.

Tomorrow I wanted to go to his apartment (he's a year and a half older than me and lives on his own) before he has to go to work. At this point we've been taking for a couple months and been on a few dates, so I don't think it's dangerous to go alone.

However, the issue is my parents don't want me to drive to his side of town since I only recently got my license and he lives 45 minutes away. The rule is I can't take the highway and I have to be home by dark. But my mom still said she didn't want me taking the street route to his city because it's too far. I haven't even asked my dad, but I know he'll say no.

I was going to just go anyway since both my parents are out of town but today I realized my dad has a gps tracker on me. I told him I had to run some errands, but he thought I was meeting up with guy, even though I wasn't. He knew where I was because of the tracker.

I am at a loss of how to deal with this at this point. I told the guy that I would come to his place but I have a feeling I'll get caught and the rule is that I have to send my dad the street address of wherever I decide to go. If I lie he can just check the gps and see where I am. I am so upset about this because I always reschedule with the guy and it makes me seem flaky when I really just can't get around my parents. I could use some advice on what to do.
