Tanning can age your skin, a light tan is ok, but people who are constantly in the sun tanning will have problems.
Also, if your as white as you say you are, you'll get burnt, turn brown for aboot 3 nanoseconds, then you'll be white again, their ain't !@#$ you can do about it.
Edit - Also, take it from someone who lives in the skin cancer capital (country) of the world, don't do it.
I still do, but i have a olive complexion, as in, if I do it properly I can go black in a few days.

If I were you, I would not only tell him no, but also explain to him that it bothers me and ask him to never ask again...but that's just me.
I also don't tan. I *can* get one, but I've avoided the sun for years. I don't want my skin to age, I don't want skin cancer, and frankly, I think tans in general (excepting a very light one) look bad.*shrugs*
But mostly I'd be offended by the a) him trying to get me to change my personal appearance when I think it's just fine, b) continually mentioning it which is not only hurtful, but also damages the self-confidence levels.

Thanks Dude!!
That's very helpful
Oh sweety
heres a helpful article I found where it says tanning to the minimum in moderation only for health benefits is ok, yes it does age you faster plus it does more here it is
spanketh: How Tanning Happens
The sun's rays contain two types of ultraviolet radiation that reach your skin: UVA and UVB. UVB radiation burns the upper layers of skin (the epidermis), causing sunburns.
UVA radiation is what makes people tan. UVA rays penetrate to the lower layers of the epidermis, where they trigger cells called melanocytes (pronounced: mel-an-oh-sites) to produce melanin. Melanin is the brown pigment that causes tanning.
Melanin is the body's way of protecting skin from burning. Darker-skinned people tan more deeply than lighter-skinned people because their melanocytes produce more melanin. But just because a person doesn't burn does not mean that he or she is also protected against skin cancer and other problems.
Tanning Downsides
UVA rays may make you tan, but they can also cause serious damage. That's because UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays. UVA rays can go all the way through the skin's protective epidermis to the dermis, where blood vessels and nerves are found. Because of this, UVA rays may damage a person's immune system, making it harder to fight off diseases and leading to illnesses like melanoma, the most serious (and deadly) type of skin cancer.
Melanoma can kill. If it's not found and treated, it can quickly spread from the skin to the body's other organs.
Skin cancer is epidemic in the United States, with more than 1 million new cases diagnosed annually. Although the numbers of new cases of many other types of cancer are falling or leveling off, the number of new cases of melanoma is growing. In the past, melanoma mostly affected people in their fifties or older, but today dermatologists see patients in their twenties and even late teens with this type of cancer. Experts believe this is partly due to an increase in the use of tanning beds and sun lamps, which have high levels of UVA rays.
Doctors also think that UVB rays play a role in the development of melanoma. That's because a sunburn or intense sun exposure may increase a person's chances of developing this deadly cancer.
Exposure to UVB rays also increases your risk of getting two other types of skin cancer: basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
The main treatment for skin cancers is excision — cutting the tumors out. Since many basal or squamous cell carcinomas are on the face and neck, surgery to remove them can leave people with facial scars. The scars from surgery to remove melanomas can be anywhere on the body, and they're often large.
Cancer isn't the only problem associated with UV exposure. UVA damage to the dermis is the main factor in premature skin aging. To get a good idea of how sunlight affects the skin, look at your parents' skin and see how different it is from yours. Much of that is due to sun exposure, not the age difference! UV rays can also lead to another problem we associate with old people: the eye problem cataracts.
