None. 18 is the age when you are considered adult in most states. Some states have 19 and 21 as adult age.

In the United States, no states consider a 16-year-old to be legally an adult. The age of majority, when a person is considered an adult for most legal matters, is usually 18.

A 21 year old is an adult and a 15 year old is below the age of consent so a sexual relationship is illegal. In some states the age of consent is 16 and in others it is 18, so no matter where you live 15 is still illegal and below the age of consent. The adult can be charged with rape of a minor child.

Can a 13 year old date a 21 year old?

No. A 13 year old is a minor and the 21 year old is an adult. The adult can be charged with rape if something should happen. In some states the age of consent is 16, while in others it is 18. At 13 that is 3 years below the age of consent. I would wonder why a 21 year old would be interested in a 13 year old child. Sex seems the only answer.
