There is no law for dating. A person of any age can DATE someone older or younger that him/her without legal consequences.

This "law" is a common misconception. There is no law that states an age limit for you to date someone older. However, each state has their own law on sexual consent. This law states that a relationship cannot turn sexually until both is of legal age (age of consent). If a person is an adult and have sex with someone under the age of consent, that person of age could go to jail.

Most states have the age of consent set at 16. Sexual contact can be considered Statutory Rape or Sexual Misconduct depending upon the state's laws.

The legal age of consent to engage in sexual activity varies by state in the United States, typically ranging from 16 to 18 years old. It is important to check the specific laws in your state to determine what is legally permissible when dating someone older.
