These questions are difficult because you must ALWAYS assume that the word "date" is being used as a substitute for the phrase "having sex with." That being said, The age of consent in the State of Maine is 16 years of age. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America

There are no laws about dating. Never have been any put in place. There are laws about children having sexual contact. Some of those are enforced based on age differences between the two. But if both are over the age of consent, the age difference doesn't matter.

Yes if the minors parents agree since there are no laws for dating, only for sex where the minor have to have reached the age of consent in his/hers state. The adult have to remember though how simple it is to report someone for statutory rape if he is going to date someone that young. Safer to wait until she minor have reached the age of consent which varies from 16-18 in the individual states.

From Wikipedia: "The age of consent in Maine is 16. Teenagers aged 14 and 15 May engage in sexual intercourse with partners who are less than 5 years older." You may want to consult other sources, just to be sure.

== == It is not illegal to date in Maine. It is not even illegal for them to have sex, as the age of consent in Maine is 16.

I hope not!
