Hi,
i think you shouldnt go out with a girl thats like 15 or like 14.
thats jsut wrong and you shoudl go out with someone thats your age because some girls are crazy adn they might say things that arent really true to getr you in trouble. So i dont think tahts a really good idea for you. My advice to you is find someone your own age!!!! if you hav to look at little girls and dae them thats really sad!
Ok well good luck with that and make the right choice if you wanna go out with someone that younger than you! Ok?!?

The answer to that question actually depends largely on your state.

Most states don't call it statutory rape, but just rape, sexual abuse or sexual interference. The laws rarely apply just to sex though and often cover ANY type of sexual contact. Dating someone without sexual contact isnâ??t illegal. HOWEVER in states like Arizona where 'sexual conduct' illegal, or Colorado where 'sexual intrusion' is prohibited or Florida where 'sexual activity' is enough or Iowa where 'performing a sex act' on someone underage is forbidden, things like kissing, fondling, petting, and handholding can be interpreted by a judge as sexual and therefore, illegal.

In states where that kind of language is used in the law, a great deal more can get you in trouble then just sexual intercourse. If you really want the straight answer to your question, you need to know the exact phrasing of the law in your state, and the way it is commonly interpreted by the courts. A lot of states only make intercourse illegal, but if you live in one where any sort of sexual contact is illegal, then dating someone older can be a serious problem, because no one will believe that two people who are 'dating' never kiss or cuddle each other in a sexual manner.

Sometimes there are also exceptions, or lesser charges, if the two parties involved are close in age, even if one is technically under the age of consent.

1. Why would someone want to date a 15 year old girl when you're 18 or 19 years old? How desperate or ego driven must one be?...girls are more developed and more mature when they're your age at 18 or 19 lol. That's creepy/loser-ish. Anyway...

2. I know everyone has this perception that 18 is the be all end all age in every single state. It's not lol. Depends on your state so check your state's Penal Code (That thing called Google). Speaking for NY- age of sexual consent is 17 years old. Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure that if the person is 15 or 16 than it is a charge of Sexual Misconduct and if they are 14 or below then it becomes a Statutory Rape charge. As far as dating...well you're arousing enough suspicion dating a minor that you might as well just forget it.

I'd worry about some irate dad kicking some guy's ass before I worried about the statutes though.

Yes, you can date someone who is over 18 -- that law only complies to sex. This goes for any state, and is a fact and law that no adult (18 and over) can have sexual relations with a minor. So as long as you don't have sex with the guy, it's not considered rape and it's completely fine to date him.

You can date, with parents permission. No sex.

If you were to have sex, it would be considered statutory rape. A fancy way of saying having sex with a minor.
