If your 17 years old can you date someone that's 15 years old?

Answer 1

From what I understand Texas Law says that the age of consent is 17, as long as the older person is not more than 3 years older. So as long as the boy turns 17 when the girl turns 18 it is legal.

Answer 2

• Legally no because a 19 year old is no longer a minor and considered an adult. Under the age of 18 is considered a minor which, of course a 15 - 16 old person is. If there is parental permission then the two can date. In this case dating means no sex. For sex the minor must have reached the age of consent in the state.

Answer 3

You can date and do whatever you want, however in certain states and countries boy could be put in jail for anything up to 50 years and/or castrated.

Answer 4

That depends on the laws of your area. Rather than looking for answers on sites like this you should look up the actual law. This is the internet, you can find it.

Answer 5

Of course - as long as he doesnt pressure you into doing things you dont want to do :)
