asianjustcurious, please don't triple post. It's really annoying.

As far as I know it's not illegal until one person is 18 or older and then the age difference thing comes in to play... but I'm not entirely sure.

us law states a 3 year rule and also if he one party is 18 and the other is under the age of 18 then it is a crime . Now if your mom say ur not seeing him she can do some legal stuff to stop u to from having contact with each other

Me personally, I wouldn't go out with anyone 3 years older than me, but in your case, its not illegal. Maybe if you were 16 and he was 23, it'll be a diifernt story, but it's your decision.

Dating isn't illegal in those situations. Unless you have sex. Then it's rape.

It just makes you want to become an anarchist and burn cars, doesn't it?

as long as they don't partake in sexual activities it's fine.

Remember it could be illegal I don't believe it is, but if it is just follow your heart if you love him. I would never let anyone stand in my way for love. Just make sure its love

And yes, it's illegal for a 15-year-old to date an 18-year-old. It kinda sucks, but it's a law that's there for a reason.

I'm not a pro on this, but I believe there is a law in my state saying that people under 18 who have an age difference of three years or more may not participate in sexual activities together. That's just info from my friend, so you don't necessarily have to trust it.

Now this I do know is true:
When anyone under the age of 16 has sex, it is considered a form of rape, regardless of willingness or the age of the partner.

Not a reflection of my opinions, just stating what I know.

Is it illegal in Connecticut for a 14 yr old girl to date an 17yr old?

Also, is it illegal for a 14 yr old turnin 15 to date a guy whom just turned 18?

The girl's birthday is June 22 1991
The boy's birthday is January 28 1988

The "3 year age difference" you referenced actually varies from state to state.

no there is no law against it untill he turns 18 and then the law is a 3 year difference...so if yall are even 3 years and 1 day it would be illegal once he turns 18 if yall become sexually active. but even then, without a complaining party or a confession its impossible to prosecute. and yes, i know this for sure. at least in the U.S. other countrys i am not too sure but tend to be less strict then the u.s.

yeah, there arent really any laws (or at least that I know of) that restrict ages on dating. I think laws just come into play when youre dating someone over 18 and sexual intercourse is onvolved. I may be wrong, but that is just what I have heard/read.

Of course not.

And of that matter I'm an expert in.
