Don't lie...
Why is there anything bad about dating a younger guy? It's not my style, but I have before. You shouldn't lie to your mom. There's nothing wrong with dating someone who is younger than you. Guys do it all the time! In fact, girls do too.
Is he nice? Is he a good boyfriend to have? If the answer to these questions is "yes" then your mom should approve and not think that you're a loser. What's the point of lying? All it will do is create a bigger mess later. <3

What's the most obivous option, mm?
It's not very hard, boss. If you think your mom will frown upon the thought of dating a boy younger than you, there are numerous things you could do, but to make it easy, let's narrow it down to two things: A) you break up with the boy and call the whole thing off (which I think would be kinda dumb) or B) tell your mother that he is really younger than you are (which is the more responsible choice, ya?)
Ya see boss, most mothers are going to either understand totally and let you go on with your happy relationship with the little boy, or they're going to go completely bananas and want to blow up the boy of choice (or think of you as a complete dork for dating a kid younger than you, but hey, if you really like him, should you really give a damn?). If you think you can completely trust your mom, then tell her about it and apologize for previously lying about it. And you're right; she'll find out sooner or later, won't she? It'd be best if you told her about it BEFORE she found out. She might think of you're more responsible, thus letting you continue with your relationship. Basically, do the more obivous and mature thing, ya?

Don't pass up a good opportunity
I have been dating a younger boy for a year (on May 26 yay). Anyway, my dad made dating younger boys sound like a stupid thing a couple years ago. When I met him I couldn't pass up such an awesome guy because of something I thought my dad would think. So I guess what I'm saying is, even though I was embarrassed to tell him at first I still did because I didn't want to risk hurting my relationship with the boy or my dad! God Bless.

It's all about you
It's only between you and this dude. Don't let your mom, or anybody else make you second guess what you feel. If you dig him, and he digs you, and ya'll comfortable with the whole thing, then be happy, and be together.

Age shouldn't matter
Honestly, I know exactly how you feel. My boyfriend is two years younger than I am and I had a hard time telling my mom too. But just because he is younger doesn't make him any less than what you see him as. The best thing for you to do is just be honest with her and explain that age, sex, or race shouldn't really matter if you care about a person. If she doesn't understand then just talk to her about it.

Take her aside some time when she's in a pretty good or playful mood. Start explaining all the good qualities your guy has and how mature he is. Tell her that your guy isn't exactly as old as you had told her before (this will make her think he's too old for you). Then explain how young he is. She may be relieved he isn't too old by doing it this way. If she thinks you're a loser, then that is her problem. If you've found a great guy that appreciates you for you then it doesn't matter that he's younger. Your mom should understand and be open to that.
Also, keep in mind that if you don't tell your mom soon, she will be angry. And if your boyfriend finds out he might think you are ashamed of him. Good luck! Remember, sooner rather than later.

Tell the truth
The funny thing about moms is us teenage girls DO NOT understand them at all. But when you think about it, how many times have we done something really stupid like lied to our parents and found out if we just would have told the truth, then it would have all been ok? Well I think it's one of those situations. Just tell the truth no matter what. If your mom sees that it's what you really want then she'll accept it, and love you the same.

Sitting in the same boat
I totally understand where you're coming from. I was completely gone over some guy and my mom made me feel dumb because he was younger. I've matured and grown from that time, but it doesn't mean I don't crush on the odd younger guy. The key is to be happy with yourself and feel confident in how you feel about this guy. When that happens, everything else will follow, and even if someone doesn't agree, you like him so who cares?
