It is very difficult to answer this question as asked. If you are a minor, then legally you are an minor even if you are dating an 18 year old or an 58 year old. You cannot consent to any sexual realtionship, mostly it is considered statutory rape even if you do not file any charges because as a minor you cannot consent, not even your parents can consent. The 18 year old, would normally be classed as an adult and accepts the liabilities and consequences thereof. You have the legal right to refuse any sexual advances at any age. You can obviously date anyone you chose to date. However, as a minor, you can be stopped from dating anyone you like by your parents or guardians until you reach adulthood. As an adult you can do whatever you please within the extent of the law.
