Is it bad to date a 16 year old if your 12?
Going on dates isn’t per se illegal, but at your age, there are a large number of things that ARE illegal and could lead to him facing felony charges, even if he’s only charged as a juvenile.
Should a 16 year old date?
It’s important to consider your child as an individual. Consider their emotional maturity and sense of responsibility. For many kids, 16 seems to be an appropriate age, but it may be entirely suitable for a mature 15-year-old to go on a date, or to make your immature 16-year-old wait a year or two.
Is it okay for a 12-year-old to date?
No, it’s not okay for a 12 year old to date anybody. You’re too young to even know what that means. Enjoy your childhood. It’s precious and won’t last. Once it is gone, you will never have it again.
Can a 16 year old date without parental approval?
If dating includes sex (or any form of sexual activity) then the answer is yes – and parental approval is irrelevant. If you are under 16 then you may not lawfully engage in any sexual activity (not just intercourse) with anyone. If you are 16 or over then you can consent to sexual activity with someone who is 23 or younger, but not 24 or older.
Can a 20 year old date a 17 year old girl?

What is the creepiest age you should date?
The “creepiness rule” states that the youngest you should date is “half your age plus seven.” The less commonly used corollary is that the oldest you should date is “subtract seven from your age and double it.”. According to this rule, society should accept a 50 year old man dating a 32 year old woman.
