First let me say that 17 is not a woman, secondly you better check with the state laws on age of maturity, thirdly, what do a 17 year old and a 26 year old have in common besides knowing how to have sex. They should be in two different areas of life one,just getting to know themselves and what they want to do with life and the other in the middle of knowing what they want to do and be doing it. plain wrong.
No, in Illinois, the age of consent is 17. However, it is illegal for an adult over 18 to date or engage in any sexual activity with someone under 18. Any sexual relationship between a 38-year-old woman and a 17-year-old man would be considered illegal in Illinois.
In Colorado, the age of consent is 17. Therefore, it would be illegal for a 20-year-old man to date a 16-year-old girl in the state. Any sexual activity between them could result in criminal charges.
I don't think there is a legal age for dating.
Ok im goint to be 17 in march and my boyfriend will be 21 in Dec its legal
No, it is not appropriate or legal for a 14-year-old to date a 29-year-old man. There is a significant age difference and power dynamic that could lead to potential harm and exploitation of the minor. Any relationship between individuals with such a vast age gap is not advisable.
No
An 18 year old man can date a 32 year old women but they would have nothing in common.
Of course not.

Anyone can date anyone. Sex may be a crime, though.
If she is under 18 it is illegal.
If you are both comfortable with it why not?
This is completely illegal
NO! What is so wrong about it? Everyone is equal!
No, he is a 22 year old man. He is looking for an adult woman.
He could date a woman half his age, but some people would consider this iffy and others would object.A commonly acceptable standard is half plus 7. Thus, a 40 year old man could date a 27 year old woman because half of 40 is 20 plus 7 = 27. By the same standard, a 60 year old man shouldn't date a woman younger than 37 and so on.
That relationship is completely fine ethically and legally.
