Can a 14 year old date a 21 year old?

Answer 1

If the parents say yes they can. There are no laws for dating so it's up to the parents to decide. There are only laws for sex where the minor must have reached the age of consent in their state. It varies from 16-18.

Answer 2

This question provoked a variety of swift responses: here are some of the first....

• no dont be stupid either one of you
• yes.. they just can't have sex.
• no, of course not! it's called child abuse!
• Yes, but there are some practical issues. If the couple wants to become intimate, in the natural way of relationships, there will probably be legal issues: a young person is not expected to be led into intimate behavior by an adult, unless over some particular age, which is generally 16 to 18 yrs old in the US. If it happens, there is a legal offence, which can be punished by prison etc.

Answer: yes, and make sure you "get it on" with them before it's too late. have fun!

No not leagally in the U.S.

legal every where but the u.s.a.

Answer 3

There are no laws for dating so that is up to your parents but the age difference is quite large and one would wonder what interest the 23yo could have in a 14. They can not have sex for several years, not until the minor reach age of consent.

Answer 4

They can, although it may result in legal trouble. They may need permission from the younger person's parents; however there is nothing to stop them simply being friends and spending time together.

Yes, no one under the age of 18 should be involved/date someone who is a legal adult.

umm... no if u really like each other but don't try to marry her right after she turns 18 or she will feel really pressured and break up with u.

it is possible but i would highly not recommend it because look at it this way... a teenager with a woman who can drink booze.

Answer 5

The age of consent for sexual activity varies, but it is usually 16. There is no legal reason they couldn't date. However, sexual contact might be illegal depending on the state or country you are in. The 20 year old would be taking a pretty big risk dating someone that young!

Answer 6

Laws vary state by state. But i belive the lowest age of consent in the United States is age 16. So no it would not be legal.

Answer 7

No, that just isn't right
