Can a 17yr old date an 18yr old?

Answer 1

All depends on whether you want something to happen or not... dont forget it usually takes two for something to happen. If you dont want something to happen then sure you can date without it happening.. depending on your will power not to get tempted! In most states this is not an issue, and is not likely to be prosecuted even in those states where the legal age of consent is 18. That depends on the two people. Any other guess to this answer would be just that a guess. It doenst mean because two people date that anything has to happen. You control the situation and yourself. If you mean the law then check with your local court house to see the age of consent and you will have another answer.

Answer 2

Yes it is legal to go out with an 18 year old if you are 17 , although if the person is below 18 you must have parental consent and since the 17 year old is a minor still it is not smart to engage in sex until both are of age. The adult, who is 18, could be charged with rape with/without consent.

Answer 3

There are no laws about what age you have to be to date, so it is legal. 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.

Answer 4

Yes, that is completely normal. When I was 17 I was dating a girl who was 19 and I don't see anything wrong with that either.

Answer 5

Yes, but you cannot have intercourse due to the law about an adult having sex with a minor.

Answer 6

Yes as long as no sex is involved. For sex the minor must have reached age of consent in the state or country. There are no laws for dating, Just parents deciding.

Answer 7

ANSWER Yes.
