Depends on the state , Most states I think its probably legal

It depends on what state you are in, but I believe that the age of consent varies. In some states, it is 17.

Depends on the state they live in.

No -- it depends on what stet you live in.

In Kansas for example the age of legal consent is 16, so ther would be no problem

In many places, yes. If you are in the United States, then probably. Most states have statuatory rape laws for people dating under 18.

In Canada, however, the age of consent, surprisingly, is 14. Creepy, no?

Legally No, inapropriate maybe.

Only if the younger person's parents want to press charges - otherwise how would the cops find out? You can get married at 17 with parental permission.

I know there's a 4 year rule in some states (including PA) because it shouldn't be illegal for an 18 year old to date a 17 year old just because the 17 year old is a minor. That's stupid.

I can only speak for my state but there are rules that protect you from laws like that.

Depends on the state...my advice, if your over 18, only date people who are also over 18, that way your never wrong. Just remember, your the adult and your the one who gets in trouble.

is it anyway possible for u to wait til he turns eighteen.. technically it is illegal.

I don't think it's illegal. In Georgia I dated a 17 year old and I was 35 years old. We dated for two years until she had an affair on me with her boss. who was two years younger than I was.

what Darren G said...


Choco
to date someone between 16 and 18 you have to be between 16 and 18. you cant be 19 and date a 17 year old. and you cant be 15 and date a 17 year old.
technically.

but people do it anyways.

as long as you dont get in trouble with the law for anything untill you are both over 18 you shoudl be fine.

I think it depends on the state. Where I live I'm pretty sure that at 17 you can, but at 16 you can't.
