I went through a similar situation.

Me too, I was also the "met online" boyfriend.
Add one thing, though... "I am on the internet. Not everyone on there is crazy/deviant/etc. I'm on there, too. Surely i'm not the only acceptable human being on the whole internet." Add that most people your age are "on the internet", and having met them there instead of in a club, or a bar, or at school, doesn't change the fact that anyone you WOULD meet in those places is most likely every bit a denizen of the 'net as this guy who you happened to meet on the 'net.
While they may brush it off to your face, it will putter around inside their thoughts. Just let time do its thing. Push the fact that his parents could say the same thing about you, and how would they like someone else's parents making that assumption about THEIR kid just because you're "on the internet"?
I hope all goes well.
