There are no charges for dating as there are no laws against it. Sexual contact has some laws. In most states if one of them is under 16 it could be a problem. You would have to check the specific laws for the state in question for the limits and penalties.

If the parents/guardians of the minor object, they may place a charge of "harassment" or 'stalking' against you or may even file a restraining order to prevent your dating. As far as the law is concerned it's not so much the "dating" part of the relationship is concerned, as it is the possiblity of of a sexual relationship. The consequences for an adult engaging in sex with a minor (whether the minor consent or not) is SERIOUS.
