Age of Dating
Ok I'm super confused so maybe someone can explain this to me! Let's say a boy is 17 and in your state the law is a 17+ person can't date a minor then can he have a 15 year old girlfriend? Because I was reading that there are laws that when your like 17 and up you can't date minors but what about teens around the same age with only a couple years difference? Thanks so much and I will rate everyone who helps me! :D

Theymos is correct; there are no laws stopping you from dating whomever you would like.
The law you are thinking about is that you can not have sexual relations with those of certain ages.
In the state I live in the age is 18 (as far as I know) and there is a 4 or 5 year loophole. That means that a 17 year old could legally sleep with a 21 year lf they choose to do so.
It has nothing to do with actually dating them; it's sex that mattters.
The only dating issue is between a teacher and student. It is not legal for age purposes and (I would assume) grading purposes.

i have never heard of that law .. it may be true but i dont think people follow it .. you can date a guy a few years older then you if he's 17 i know plenty of people that do. just make sure if you have sex not to get pregnant (condoms, birth control) because if they are older then 18 and your younger your parents could sue for statutory rape.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is the law, but people still date anyways, but be careful, and make sure that the person you do go out with really wants it too, and don't have sex, you could get sued for statutory rape.

From my understanding, if the law is 17+ cannot date a minor, then they couldn't date someone fifteen or even sixteen, since they would be considered a minor.

There aren't any laws like that. You can date whoever you want.

Yes, that law would mean a 17 year old couldent date anybody younger then 17. But, ther are usualy loopholes and stuff. You should check out this law.
