There are no laws against dating; only against sexual contact. That said, the age of consent in Illinois is 17, UNLESS the elder party is in a position of "trust or authority" over the younger party (for example, a teacher, coach, probation officer, or therapist). If the elder party is in a position of trust and authority over the younger party, then the age of consent is 18.

Someone who has reached the age of consent can have sex with whoever they want (as long as the other person has also reached the age of consent).

So yes, it is legal for you to date and to have sex, unless you are the 17-year-old's teacher, coach, probation officer, therapist, etc., etc. In that case you would have to wait for them to turn 18 to have sex.
