Sora'sMum 352 Posted April 21, 2011 Well I believe this is the law but don't quote me on it. If someone over 18 wants to date someone under 18 they can't be more than 2 years older. So in "your friend's" situation everything should be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora96 17,256 Posted April 21, 2011 @ Sora'sMum That's not true. An 18 year old could date a 14 or 15 year old. 1 J. Severe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ObsidianEagle 103 Posted April 21, 2011 dating can be with a 10 year old and an 89 year old, there's no law about it (although the situation i stated could probably get the guy suspected of being a pedophile) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FireStorm 162 23 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm sure "your friend" can legally date her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron 579 Posted April 21, 2011 If one person if over 18. You are not allowed to engage in sexual intercourse if you are under 16 years of age. So over basically 2 years apart is too much. Anything else is fine. If its the guy going out with an older woman, respect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bentrx 3 Posted April 21, 2011 It depends on what country and state you are in. You can date anyone you want, but if an 18 year old has sex with an under 18 year old in California then the 18 year old can be arrested due to the age of consent laws.

Mog 97 Posted April 21, 2011 That's all bull. In my school a 20 year only is dating a 16 year old. There's no laws to stop anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heartless101 83 Posted April 22, 2011 There's not any law about what age two people have to be in order to date each other at I believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zexion's_Lover_46 76 Posted April 23, 2011 It's legal to hang out with her but not engage in sexual intercourse. However, I think once he turns 18 it's legal to have sex with one another, even though she's two years older then him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know, the laws only get involved when sexual activity / harassment is involved... And anyway, the younger person generally has nothing to worry about it, providing they actually like the person and agreed to it... Yeahhh, going to stop typing now I think.
