That would rather depend on what your definition of "dating" is. If you are taking the kid to a movie, that's legal. If you are taking her to your bachelor pad, you are on really thin ice.
There are no laws about dating. However, there are laws about any sort of sexual contact. Let's face it, there is only one reason a 21 year old would consider dating a 13 year old, and that would not be legal!
In New Jersey, the legal age of consent is 16, so it is not illegal for a 16-year-old to date a 20-year-old. However, if the relationship involves any sexual activity, the age of consent is 16 for individuals who are less than four years apart in age.
In Florida, the age of consent is 18, meaning a 17-year-old cannot legally consent to a sexual relationship with a 19-year-old. Engaging in sexual activity with a minor under 18 years old, even if there is consent, can lead to criminal charges such as statutory rape. It is important to be mindful of these legal boundaries when dating across age differences.
In Texas, the legal age of consent is 17. Therefore, a 19-year-old dating a 16-year-old could potentially lead to legal issues as the age of consent has not been met. It is important to be aware of the laws in your specific state regarding age of consent and relationships.

No, there are no laws regarding dating. And an 18 year old is considered an adult.
The 17 year old is a minor and the 26 year old an adult and if only dating is involved there is no problem. More than dating and the 26 year old could be arrested for rape.
The man will get arrested.
He would never go out with a 13 year old! He's 20 years old for crying out loud, he could get arrested for dating someone that old.
He would never go out with a 11 year old! He's 20 years old for crying out loud, he could get arrested for dating someone that old.
Not for dating but if we talk a sexual relationship the girls has to have reached the age of consent in that state.
Not just for dating... For having sex, it's considered rape, even if it's consensual.
How can you get arrested? It's just 2 years difference I don't think you can get arrested. .
Dating, sure. Most likely will still require 16 year old parents permission.

Yes. The age of consent is 18 and she is a minor dating an adult male. He can be arrested for rape and serve jail time.
