In what country?

In the United States, once the 17-year-old turns 18, there could be legal trouble.

The charge against the older kid would be called "statutory rape".

The answer to this question will depend on what legal jurisdiction you are in. It also depends on precisely what you mean by "dating". Age of consent laws are usually focused on sexual activity, so any sexual activity involving a 15-year old will in most locations be illegal.

If you use the definition of "dating" simply to mean being associated with socially, then most likely you are doing nothing illegal. However this does not mean that everyone will approve.

I don't really think that its illegal but I do think that a child between the ages 11-15 shouldn't date. But this is based on the fact that most kids/teens around this age don't really know their feelings or mature enough. I don't think that a 12 should go through a heartbreak at that young of a age.

Dating is not illegal, having sex IS illegal. Keep in mind that there is no good reason that a 27 year old would want to date a 12 year old. date? well no that'd be legal, but for the couple to even kiss would a crime, to say nothing about sex.

Is it illegal for a 12 year old to date a 21 year old?

It depends on where you are. Few places have legislation prohibiting dating. It may not be illegal to date but a 12 year old is a minor and below the age of consent for sexual contact. The 19 year old would be very stupid to date someone that young, it could land them in jail if the younger one accuses them of doing something, whether they actually did or not.
