Person above me is wrong.
There isn't a "dating age". However, there is an age of consent. This usually applies towards sex and/or sex acts. All states have different age of consents. Check out the attached link to find out what your's is.

Be careful, because many of these answers are incorrect. It totally depends on the laws in your state - there is not one universal age of consent or an across the board age that you have to be before it is legal to consent to sex. In my state, it partly depends upon the age of the younger person in relation to the age of the older person. For instance, it might be legal for a 16 year old to have sex with a 15 year old, but not for an 18 year old to have sex with a 15 year old.
Sorry to not be of more help - these statutes are pretty state-specific.

Legally, yes, Sexually, no. The age of sexual consent is 18 in most states of the US.

Depends on where you live. Here's a chart for worldwide ages of consent:

there is no law on dating as such, but it is illegal for anyone under 16 to have any kind of sexual interation with anyone else (even if they are over 16)
