Completely legal since there are no laws for dating, just for sex. The age of consent in Florida is 18 but there's a close in age exception which allows a 23yo or younger to have legal sex with a minor aged 16 or 17.

The age of consent in Florida is 18, but 'close-in-age' exemptions exist. By law, the exception permits an adult younger than 24 to engage in lawful sexual activity with a minor aged 16 or 17. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#Florida

There are no laws for dating so that is up to the parents. To have sex though you have to have reached age of consent and that is 18 in Florida but there is a close in age exemption so at 16 you can have legal sex with someone as long as he is no more than 23yo.

It's not illegal, unless it's a sexual relationship.

Yes, although the age of consent is 18, there are provisions excluding those within a 4 year age difference. In this case there is more than a 4 year span.

No. Dating is legal as long as her parents agree to it but sex is illegal. The age of consent in the state of Florida is 18.

Yes because of the Romeo and Juliet laws you are able to do that and no one even your parents have any say over it.
