ok hey every 1 im 13 and dating a 16 year old. My mom does'nt no i'm dating him "yet". well i've been looking around the internet to see if it was illegal.. so is illegal for him to be dating me??. O and not to b mean but this isnt an opinion Question i need to no if it is really illegal. Trina

so you think that parents will be fine when they hear their 13 year old say "oh but i'm just dating a 22 year old, we aren't doing anything."
pfh.

eww this 22-year old i knew did date a 13 year old bleh.

gah i think i might have bitten off more than i can handle i like a girl and shes 15 the problem is im 18 good thing is we live in 2 differnt states bad thing is i miss her.

Okayy so I'm getting really annoyed with the people who say "13 and 17 is illegal because of the difference."
Look, it's not illegal to date. Once someone is over I believe 18, and someone else is under 16 they have to have a parents consent, but all states have a different age for sexual things in a relationship. Most states right now, the legalized age for sexual content in a relationship is 16-23. Dating is not at all illegal for anything anywhere you go. Now, don't start saying "oh so are you saying a 53 tear old can date a 13 year old". Don't jump on my case because I'm giving the facts. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm saying yes, it's allowed as long as there is no sexual content. I looked deeply into this subject not to long ago because I am 14 dating an 18 year old. It's legal for us to date, but until the day I turn 16 we are not legalized to do anything sexual. So there is an answer for you. I know a lotttt on this subject. Gots anymore questions??

I think being in a reltionship with someone a LOT older than is a definant NO NO! you are both in a different state of mind as the older person has had more experience of life. I have many friends who are saying that they are going out people who are 6-8 year older then them and i think thats fine,its their decision. But to have someone who thinks how you think, feel how you feel makes the relationship sooo much better and more worth it.

There are no rules on being in a non sexual relationship with people older than you but you will be known as a perve.

Opinions count....BIG OR SMALL!!

There is no law against dating. There are laws against sexual contact between a minor and an adult, this is called statutory rape. Ages of statutory rape differ in different states. You will need to look up where you live and its laws on the issue. In most states(if not all)a thirteen year old and eighteen year old having a sexual relationship is illegal. The eighteen year old can be charged with statutory rape. If the relationship is purely dating and NO sexual activity is involved its fine.

Okay im 14 and dating a guy who is 17 and will turn 18, 27 days before i turn 15...I live in South Dakota does any1 know the dating laws?

so you think it's fine for someone who is 55 to date someone who is 13?

I think that dateing laws are so stupid i mean if u really love a peron why should anyone care seriously

Yeah I'm sorry but if you're 18 and you date someone who is 13. That's a little effed up. Not because of the age difference but because of the mentality difference...

ok well its really nice to know that ppl r in the same situation and i was able to actually find them ! the law isnt really a good thing like someone has allready said a lot of ppl have hurt themselfs over this law ! its really stupid how its diffrent in every state it should at least be the sam in eveery state .its rediculious how they can try to stop ppl from dating and how some how the have the right to try to keep ppl away from eachother i live in a really small town in texas ..and the police really crack down on the crap here.i dont see why its such a big deal ive torn my self apart looking for the awnser to my questin but ever site ive been to says something diffrent. i wish i could just get the facts!~

ok well i have the sme problem as many of yoou do im 13 and im 100%in love with an 18 year old ive been trying to get as much imformation on the topic as i can ..so if yoou have anyplz tell me and here another question can he only go to jail if parents press charges?

no its not realy illeagal cause both of u are under 18 techonally u both are kids

um i pretty sure the law says 36 months but i'm not sure if that's everywhere in the united states. for sure in texas though.

okay well i kinda have the same problem my boyfriend is 18 n im 15 turning 16 in a month..

There's this guy I like and want to date, the thing is he is 21 and going to be turing 22 in June, personally I don't have a problem with age differance and hes really nice and im not just saying get-in-your-pants-nice. Now most people would be weired out but the thing is he is Christian and we've already talked about sex and he doesnt want it and he said he wouldnt do anyting to make me feel uncomfortable and understands my beliefs. Also, my mother is fine with me dating him in the furture. What I was just wondering would it be considered illegal just to date him without sex (i don't want it yet)?

Please help!!! Thanks :]

well im not sure about the canadian laws but in the states its 4 year differance (if one person is 18 or older) with parental consent as long as nothing involving sex or sexual in nature its legal i think it might be the same in canada
