It's not illegal to 'date' but it's what might happen during or after a 'date' that could be a problem. Both parties are under the age of consent, so any sexual relations could be troublesome. It's probably not a good idea - since when the 16 year old becomes 'legal' for consensual sex at age 17, the 12 year old (now 13) is still under the age of consent, and even consensual relations could result in criminal charges.

it is legal to date, there are no laws about what age you have to be to date in any state. There are laws about sexual activity depending on the state. In most places you have to be at least 16 to consent, if not 17 or 18.
