Depends on the age of majority in your state, but typically if you are over the age of 21 and he/she is still under the age of 18 it's considered statutory rape or Sexual Abuse in the 5th degree, which would make you register as a sex offender.... But it does depend on the age of majority in your state.... Any other question related to this one, please email me at morpheus@iowatelecom.net Subject: Age of Majority:WIKI Morpheus

  • There are no laws that would prevent dating. In most places it wouldn't even be illegal for them to go all the way.
  • You can date anyone of any age. There are no age restrictions for dating. It just depends on whether your parents approve.

No! There is no law about dating. In most states a 17 year old can consent to sexual activity, so even that wouldn't be a legal issue.

No, not at all. This is a normal thing. If he is a year older than you, its fine. Now if he was 25, it'd be a different story.

Of course not!

2 years older is not much of a time span.

And you want to date someone older because they're usually more mature about their relationship than younger people.
