And yes, 14 and 17 is too much of an age difference. Generally, the lower the ages of the kids, the narrower the acceptable age range is. This isn't arbitrary, it's because in the earlier ages, a tremendous number of changes take place in each person's life.
Yes, it's perfectly legal for a male of 15, and a female of 17 to date. You both are still minors, but until said person becomes 18, it would be illegal for said people to involve in a sexual intercourse.
A 17 year old teenager should not date someone more than 2.5 years younger than them. So, if the 17 year old just turned 17, the youngest they should date is someone 14.5 years of age. If the teenager is 17.5, the youngest they should date is someone 15 years of age.
In general, it is not illegal in most states to date a 14 year old. Problems arise when the relationship turns sexual. Then there could be very serious criminal issues
The question as phrased, the answer is 'no. ' It is not legal. If the 16 year old engages in any sexual conduct with the 13 year old, they could face statutory rape charges and the parental consent assuming there was any would have no bearing
No. It is not illegal for a 13 and 17 year old to date.
There aren't any laws around being in a non-sexual relationship where one person is under 18 and the other over. Once you turn 16 it's not illegal for someone to have sex with you no matter how old they are.
14 year old is a teenager and should be dating other teenagers, not an adult. It is illegal to have sex with a 14 year old. So the 20 year old could be charged with rape and sent to jail and then be placed on the sex offenders registry for life.
If dating includes sex (or any form of sexual activity) then the answer is NO - and parental approval is irrelevant. If you are under 16 then you may not lawfully engage in any sexual activity (not just intercourse) with anyone.
There is no law (generally) against any two people being friends. Intimate sexual activity with minors is illegal. The gender of the two minors is irrelevant. Parental "approval" is also does not override laws regarding age of consent.
Dating is not illegal. Sexual relations can be. If you are not 4 years older it is not "statutory" rape. But there is "coercion" that could be alleged now or later if she gets upset.
In the US, close-in-age exemptions are mostly within 4 years so long as you are both over 14. So if you want to be safe, wait until the 13 year old is 14.
So, if you're 16, the minimum age you're supposed to date is 15; the oldest is 18. If you're 13, you're out of luck. The youngest you can date is 13 1/2, but the oldest is 12.
Originally Answered: Is it okay for a 14-year-old girl to date a 12-year-old boy? Yes, it's fine. It isn't a very big age gap, and it'll be better when they're 13 and 15, and better still when they're 14 and 16.
What is the “age of consent” in California? 18 years of age. Under California law, a person must be at least 18 years of age in order legally to have sex with another person to whom he or she is not married.

The critical law to understanding the gravity of the danger is to understand that a person under 18, under California law, cannot legally consent to sexual conduct (Penal Code § 261.5(a) (defining minor)). “Dating” can certainly imply sexual contact, which is illegal between a fifteen-year-old and an eighteen-year-old.

The answer is NO, there is no way you can be sexually involved with this man. He commits a felony if he does so, plus any 24 year-old that wants to date a 15 year old is likely a pedophile.

Anyone can date anyone, so there is no prohibition against a 23-year-old man dating a 13-year-old girl. However there could be no contact of a sexual nature between the two, or else the man is in danger of being prosecuted for a crime
Around ages 12-15, people often start having their first kiss. Don't feel pressured by other people your age kissing people, and don't rush into kissing someone if you are apprehensive. You'll know intuitively when the time feels right.
