Having a girl friend is not against the law. In most states the age of consent is 16. There are states were it is 17. Check your local laws by searching for your state and "age of consent". Aggie80, Attorney at Law I'm not in law inforcement or an attorney; however, I believe that in most states it is against the law. You could check your states penal codes, most of these are on the internet. The main thing is does her parents approved of you. Like the person before me said, it depends. And you better hope her parents like you. It depends on the state in which you live. That also depends on whether or not you're having sexual relations. That doesn't mean sex. If you grope your sixteen-year-old girlfriend, it's illegal. If you live in Tennessee, they changed the laws recently and it is now illegal. As far as I know, there was a four year period on reaching sixteen. You could be 16 and 20 but not 16 and 21. Now, if one party is a legal adult (18 and older) and one is a minor (under 18) even by a few days, it is technically illegal. If you have consentual sex, it's statutory rape because she is a minor and therefore not able to give informed consent as an adult. Often this whole thing can be avoided by either not having sex, or having your girlfriend's parents really like you. if neither she nor they ever complain, no one knows. If they do, you're screwed. If you were to end up with a girlfriend who was 13 and you had 'consentual' sex, you could be charged with sexual assault of a child and you would go to prison.

No its not illegal. If you were already dating and you just turned 18 then its acceptable. Otherwise, we would have a lot of people arrested. In the US theirs a thing called a 1 year period. States let you be 1 year apart in age, as long as the consenting person is over the age 0f 16.
