As to dating, it might be wise to ask her parents. If you enjoy her company enough to woo her, it is respectful of her household to ask permission.

You can not legally have a sexual relationship with a fifteen year old girl in Georgia as she is a minor and you by legal definition are not. You are an adult, in Georgia, at seventeen years of age, not eighteen.

Legal for what?

For making contracts that are binding and not voidable? No. You have to be 18 for that.

For having consentual sexual contact? Yes, 16 is the minimum age for that.

For taking sexually explicit pictures like "sexting" ? No, gotta be 18 or that's child porn.

For being charged as an adult criminal if you break the law? Yeah, 17 is considered an adult for most crimes. A few of the really serious major felonies can result in kids as young as 13 being "tried as an adult" too!

it is legal to date, there are no laws about what age you have to be to date in any state. 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.

The state of Georgia has no laws regarding the social activities of adults and children. Anything physical is Russian Roulette though.

It depends what you are talking about. For tabacco yes but for alcohol no. The legal age for alcohol is 21.

They are a minor until they turn 18. The parents are still responsible for them in the eyes of the law.
