Can a 18 year old date a 16year old?

Answer 1

In short yes you can. However you cannot have sexual relations. Getting caught at it puts you in jail and gets you labeled as a sexual predator or sex abuser - which can haunt you for ever. Definitely not worth it.

Would also suggest clearing it with her parents and be open with them as well.

Answer 2

The age of consent in Delaware is 18. However, close in age laws allow for 16- and 17-year olds to consent with adults up to age 30. As a result, a 25-year old and a 17-year old in a relationship is legal in Delaware.

Answer 3

Age of consent is regarding sex, not dating. There are no laws for dating so that is up to the parents. The age of consent to have sex in Delaware is 18 but it's also legal for 16-17yo to have sex with a partner who is no more than 30.

Answer 4

They are legally allowed to date but the parents may not like it. They are both over the age of consent for sexual activity.
